An incredible pair of handmade
diamond earrings are just one of the
items up for grabs in two money
raising efforts for the cancer services
team over the next month.
The Living With and Beyond Cancer
team are holding both a virtual raffle
and eBay auction to raise funds for Your
Trust Charity’s Cancer Services Fund and
Macmillan Cancer Support.
The service has a positive impact on
the lives of patients, especially during
these unusual times and, all know
the wonderful work that Macmillan
does. However, COVID-19 has seen
a staggering drop in its income, at a
time when more people are seeking
guidance and support while the support
service also seeks to work through these
challenging circumstances.
The beautiful pair of handmade yellow
and white gold, diamond and emerald
earrings, kindly donated by A&A
Jewellery based in the Jewellery Quarter
in Birmingham, are worth a staggering
£765 and will be raffled off. The winner
will also receive a certificate of valuation
for insurance purposes.
“We offer our heartfelt thanks to the
donor of this incredible prize donated
by A&A Jewellery.” A representative of
the team told Heartbeat. “The owner
has personal experience of the impact of
cancer and also of the amazing support
that Macmillan provides, helping him
Diamonds are a girl's best friend!
and, his family get through some of the
darkest times. The Living With and Beyond
Cancer Team is a small team of five, but
we have all had personal experience of
cancer, not just through work but through
our friends and family too. Ultimately it will
affect us all at some point in our lives, either
directly or indirectly.”

For every £5.00 you donate you will
receive a strip of 5 tickets. The draw will
be filmed and, the winning ticket will
