LHCH_Newsletter Spring Summer 2020

You climbed, walked
and played
Philip Thornhill and the
15-strong gang from Vodaphone
UK took to the slopes on 27th
September to say thank you for the
amazing care that Philip has received
over many years for his congenital
heart disease – raising over £1,700
for LHCH Charity.
Another intrepid climber was
Zowie Railton who conquered
the mountain just a few weeks
Mount Snowdon
welcomed many
supporters of LHCH
Charity in 2019
including –
the fantastic sum of £1,433 and
already planning their next event!
Slightly less energetic but none the
less challenging was Louise Gibbs’
pledge to walk 10,000 steps a day
every day for one month to raise
funds in memory of her much
loved mum, Marilyn. Small steps
made a big difference and Louise
raised over £1,000 for the charity
with her efforts.
You jumped
and sang
Leaping from tall buildings is
obviously quite a few people’s idea
of great fun as we discovered when
a 30 strong team including LHCH
staff and supporters took
part in an abseil from Liverpool’s
Anglican Cathedral on 24th August.
Braving the 150 foot drop from the
West Door the heroic souls raised
over £4,500 for LHCH Charity –
not only that but several of them
wanted to go up and do it again!
later on 13th October. Battling
atrocious weather Zowie and her
family members made it to the top
to celebrate the life of her mum
who had sadly passed away earlier
in the year. The whole family raised
Emily Jones decided that a
game of football was the best way
to remember her Grandad, Dave
who loved his game and was a big
supporter of Penyfford FC. So in
May the whole community came
together to celebrate Dave and
to raise the fantastic sum of £2,800
to thank LHCH for the care that
we gave.
The wonderful Sing Me Merseyside put their vocal talents to great
use at Liverpool One on Sunday 8th September. Belting out a marvellous
medley of songs the choir sang their hearts out for an hour and a half
and were so good that many shoppers just stopped and sat on the steps
listening to the whole performance!
