NEWS FROM THE NAMMOCKS ON FUNDRAISING 2009

Hi everyone we have been really busy this year trying to raise awareness and funds for FOP. Apart from being on the ITV evening news and London tonight plus the This Morning programme in April, we started fundraising in June this took place in a local bar with DJ’s raffles and auctions. We sold tickets for £10 each and sold 200 as that was the amount of people that could be safely in the bar for health and saftey reasons. It was a fantastic night and we raised £6300. Then in early July the teacher’s in Seanies school held a race night which was great fun that raised £1000. Also during the Summer teachers sold ice creams and lollies at break times and raised around £300. They also did a raffle which raised around £200 Then in October one of Seanie’s teachers and one of her cousin’s did seperate half marathons and they raised £800 in total. Plus there have been other donations that have been sent straight to Oxford on Seanie’s behalf. A friend of Seanie’s grandmother in Ireland held a collection in her local bingo hall and sent us a Euro cheque which came to just over £200. Someone else sent us a cheque for £100 in a letter but no address.
Then In December a friend of the family in America donated $10,000 which is in the process of being transferred to Oxford. All really brilliant stuff. So approximately £15,000 and it could be more as donations were made via the links printed in the online newpapers and friends and family have also made donations via the online donation link.
So now thinking of things to do in 2010.
Happy New Year everyone logging onto to FOP Action UK.
