£300 from our Charity Car Wash!

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Charity Car Wash on Saturday, where we managed to raise a whopping £300 in the 4 hours of washing. Comments were made on the quality of cleaning we did (one guy even went home to get his other car!) and suprisingly we were even trusted with cleaning a beautiful Aston  :)

The weather turned out really well after the torrential downpours on Friday, hopefully the guilt trip from Lucy and Joe stood redirecting traffic from Tesco car park doesn't turn against us at the next one!

Sounds like everyone had a really good day and hopefully will be running another in the upcoming months, more info to come...

Kirstie's Road to Transplant Blog

I urge you to take a few minutes to read through this young ladies blog. She is 21 years old and living with CF. This blog gives you a glimpse from a first persons view of living with CF and her desperate struggle to find a lung transplant that will save her life. Please take time to look at the various pages including her "New Lung Task List" which I hope will make you realise some of the things you may sometimes take for granted.

Bishops Cleeve Street Fair

Yesterday was the 2011 Bishops Cleeve Street Fair, just north of Cheltenham. The Street fair ran between 12 and 4pm with stalls, dance groups, music performances, parachute jumps, vehicle displays and a spitfire flyby all taking part to help raise money for both the community and 6 charities, one of which was the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Each of the charities had a stall, which I decided we would run the Throw-A-Lightbulb game and also have a stand for information and awareness about CF and the Trust.

We had a really busy day right from the start, with constant queues and crowds around our game, and many comments about how great the game was, and even a few asking if they could have permission to make a copy! Within the 4 hours we raised £160 on the game towards my £4000 target and hopefully find out shortly how much will be donated to the Trust from the profits of the Street Fair. A cheque presentation will be happening in September this year.

Thanks to all who came and took part and to Mars and ShakeAway for some of the donated prizes.
