Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you will know I am aiming to raise awareness and funds for Georgie's Genes. Georgie is my 8 year old niece who has a very rare form of Muscular Dystrophy (muscle wasting condition). It is so rare that only a handful of children in the U.K have the same diagnosis and maybe 50-100 across the whole world. This means that finding a treatment or even a cure for the disease is particularly challenging. The more awareness and funds we can raise for Muscular Dystrophy UK/Georgie's Genes, the greater chance we have of helping my very special niece, and other children like her. 

Georgie is a happy, fun, caring girl who loves drawing, dancing and painting. She can walk for short distances unaided but is unable to climb stairs or get herself from sitting to standing. She has regular cardiac and respiratory checks and thankfully for now, her heart and breathing muscles remain healthy.

A few years ago I did a floristry course which made me interested in and enjoy making wreaths. 

With everyone spending a lot more time at home this year, I thought it would be nice to show you what I have learnt and provide all the materials for my Christmas wreaths and give you the option to join me on a Zoom call (and will also provide instructions) where I can take you all through the step by step ways to create a fab Xmas wreath with holly, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, cones and ribbon. I'll also provide mulled wine spices so you can enjoy a Christmassy tipple while making your wreath. 

A Christmas wreath making pack is priced at £22-£26 dependent on if you have a twig wreath to recycle and use and if you have your own holly or not - just let me know. The zoom call will be on Saturday 5 December 2020. 

Thank you so much!
