Fundraising hall of fame
Fundraising hall of fame
Well done to Olivia Jenkins who has so
far raised over £1,500 for the Children’s
Development Centre in memory of three-yearold
Esmae Betteridge, a family friend who sadly
passed away in 2016. Olivia has run, swum and
baked to raise the money, and plans to continue
fundraising throughout 2018. What a superstar!
Well done to Sue Ratcliffe and her friends and
family who raised £3,000 for Barclay Ward and
our Cancer Research Fund. Sue raised money
in her local community, while her friends and
family climbed Mount Snowdon on her behalf!
What a wonderful team effort, thank you!
Thank you to Yu Energy who raised over £1,400 for
the Big Appeal for Nottingham Children’s Hospital.
A special thank you to the
Laskowski family and their
friends, who have raised £3,000
for children’s cancer ward E39
to thank them for the care their
son Kacper received there.
A very special thank you to the friends of Hannah Curr who
held a 24-hour Bon Jovi karaoke marathon for Hannah,
raising over £4,300 for the Nottingham Breast Institute.
Hannah, who has previously supported the Charity as a
volunteer, was diagnosed with a rare type of breast cancer
which doctors believed had spread to her brain. We were
delighted to hear that a repeat brain scan showed no sign of
cancer, and Hannah is on the road to recovery.
Well done to Rempstone Traction Club
who raised £3,500 for the Big Appeal
during their annual Rempstone Steam
and Country Show. The money was
raised in memory of budding engine
driver 14-year-old John Tomlinson,
who was treated on the Paediatric
Intensive Care Unit before he sadly
passed away last year.
Huge thanks to Just The
Tonic comedy club who
raised over £2,000 for our
Zephyr’s family bereavement
support centre, by holding a
special fundraising comedy
night. Thank you so much for
your support.
Big thanks to the organisers of the Waterfront Festival
who support the Wolfson Cystic Fibrosis Centre each
year – last year raising more than £1,700. Thank you!
