Absence makes the heart grow fonder.....

So the other day I was asked by someone if I had a blog or anything where I could post what I had been up to and update people on what I am doing while I am in Tanzania.... which brings me home to this page!! It has been a while since I have posted so for any of you that had been dying with anticipation for the next post... I have finally succumbed! 

There has been quite a lot which has happened since I last posted and among these things I am no longer going to Tanzania this week, but in January instead. This has been a blessing in disguise as I was not fully prepared and now feel that I have a lot more time to mentally and physically prepare myself for the work I am going to be doing out there.

Since I last posted, I did not have a quiz night, this was cancelled. And instead I had a coffee morning and another dear lady hosted a tea party to also raise funds for Tanzania. The two events combined along with donations raised an extra £700 and subsequently I have reached and exceeded my £1500 target!

Woohoooo!!!

I can not begin to explain how grateful I am to everybody who has contributed money, time and effort into my fundraising, and for everybody who has believed that I can do it when I have doubted myself. I have been blessed and encouraged by so many wonderful people in the last 6 months and am so appreciative of everything that has been done for me.

I also want to make a note to thank my mum for everything that she has done for me in supporting me and being so generous even when we have not always got along. My mum has paid for my flights to go to Tanzania and without her help I would not be going. It is thanks to my mum's dedication, drive, love and sheer compassion that all of this has been possible and I can not even begin to thank her enough for everything she has done.

New projects!

So since the man auction, what have I been doing in the world of fundraising?

Well...... I am hoping to have a quiz which one of my beautiful friend's dad is going to be heading as he is a great quiz master and well, I'm not. So it's a perfect combination! I'm not sure what the date of this is going to be as of yet as this is still very much a work in progress and needs some sorting out but rest assured details will be posted!!

My mum is hosting a coffee morning for me which will include a tombola and bake sale. Bless my mum she is a truly wonderful and inspiring lady and I am so blessed to have her helping me with my fundraising. Without her i would be sincerely screwed.

Donations have come to a firm halt but I am determined to not let this get me down and continue to fundraise in other ways!!

I also have a few more tricks up my sleeve but I will leave you with this for now :)

A MASSIVE thank you!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to every one who has donated so far!!! I couldn't have gotten this far without your help and for that I am really grateful! Included in the total shown above is the £430.00 raised at the man auction which was such a success and i couldn't have asked for a better turn out! Thank you for the guys who were involved and to everyone who came. Now to continue with my hairiness and think of another project to put in tow!

Crowdfunding

Medical Supplies!

Over the past few weeks, I have been very lucky to have had donated some free medical supplies to take with me to Tanzania! Although the majority of these dressings are very useful, quite a few will probably not be much use. If you know anyone or are able to get hold of any bandages, syringes or sterile equipment I would be very very grateful!!!


If you would like to donate (which would be very much appreciated) here's the link. Thank you to everyone who has donated already, your support has been greatly appreciated!

MAN AUCTION!

Really looking forward to seeing you all at my man auction on March 6th at Blue Bar, UEA (yes it has finally been confirmed!)


Thank you so much to everyone that has been getting involved with this, I have a set of amazing friends who have been helping me put everything together, and get my men involved!!


Unfortunately the men taking part in my man auction aren't quite as hot as this, but i thought the picture might catch your attention :P
