leah's world of fundraising and more...

A small group of members from Whitby Air Cadets and Whitby's Army Cadets came to gether on saturday 3rd november to lay poppies on the war graves at whitby's cemetry then went into town poppy selling for 3 hours. cadets where paired up in pairs and where each given an area of whitby to go poppy selling. In those 3 hours cadets manage to raise an amazing sum of £1000 for the Royal British Legion. thank you to all those who bought poppies in whitby on that day. 

On saturday 13th October, members of Whitby 740 ATC went to goathland and sent up a tombola in aid of the 740 sqd. Members managed to raise over £200. Thank you to everyone involved on that day x

Hey everyone,

So in August & September im helping raise money for to charity's. Teenage Cancer Trust and Kieran Maxwell Fund. The 1st fundraising event is the T.C.T which is in august (26th-27th) This event will take place in Homebase in Whitby. (more details to post later when i know more)

The next fundraising event im doing is the Junior Great North Run in September (15th) This year i am running for Kieran Maxwell who i found about by bbc news (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18477538 Olympic torch: Kieran Maxwell continues after fall with torch.) When i saw this article about Kieran, i wanted to know more about him. So i went to his website ( http://www.kieran-maxwell-fund.co.uk/ ) and found out he is a Ewings Sarcoma Surviver and that he is raising money for his to get a new prosthetic leg. After i found this out i decided that i would help him and raise funds by running the junior great north run. 

Sadly i cant set up a JustGiving account for him as he is not a registered charity, but there is another way you can sponsor me/give kieran money. And thats by going to this website --> gofundme.com/p2cwk  if you would like to sponsor me by that website please can you put in the little comment box when you donate #LeahJGNR so i can keep track of how much i have raised for him. If you live in Whitby, North Yorkshire, you can sponsor me by donating money in the charity buckets i will be putting in shops (more details as soon as i get the buckets)

Thank you for reading my blog and please help me raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust and Kieran Maxwell Fund!
