This weekend my Mum celebrated her 60th Birthday; Hollywood Style! Amongst the glitz and glamour (and Johnny Depp cardboard cutout), there was a very special cause that was brought to everyone's attention - Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC).
Mum wanted to use her birthday party as an opportunity to add to the money already raised on my Just Giving page, and so told her guests that she did not want them to bring her a present, but rather give that money they would have spent on a gift, to GOSHCC.
The delight Mum had when totting up all the money was possibly far greater than the numerous gifts she would have opened. £300 was the total! An amazing amount of money. I think what it really showed to us was that all these people who said they cared - by asking after Amelia before and post op - had now actually shown they cared by donating to the cause.
With just over 3 weeks to go (goodness is that all?) until The Adidas Women's 5k Challenge and I close the door to this part of my life, I hope that those of you who have not donated, do. I know many of you cared a lot about how Amelia was doing during her operation, and you want to show you care but haven't got around to it yet. Don't put it off for another day, do it now, it doesn't need to be a lot. Click here. And if you've already donated, still click here and see how much you've helped to raise! xxx
