Fundraising for Magic Moments
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As many of you know, I’m a Trustee of our company charity, Magic Moments. We support 13 Children’s Hospices around the country by providing their chosen families with a trip to Disneyland Paris (www.magicmomentscharity.co.uk). During this difficult time, we’re obviously unable to provide families with these trips so Magic Moments wants to raise as much money as we can to enable us to provide cash donations to the Children’s Hospices by supporting the National 2.6 Challenge on Sunday 26th April.
Hospices are currently losing a staggering £70m a month due to the cancellation of so many fundraising events and the closure of charity shops so we really want to be able to provide some Children’s Hospices with some much-needed funds. Having met a number of families who receive Hospice support, I know what a lifeline it really is to them.
Unfortunately, I’m not a sporty person so I’ve decided to do a fast for 26 hours instead. At a time when food has become a heightened luxury to ease the boredom whilst most of us remain indoors, it’s certainly going to be challenging not to eat for such a long period of time! I am
though determined to ensure that no food passes my lips for 26 hours to help those families who rely on the services of their local Hospice for either their poorly child or following the devastating loss of a son, daughter, brother or sister.
I really will be so grateful for any donation you’re able to make with every single penny going straight to the 13 Children’s Hospices Magic Moments supports in the UK including EACH in East Anglia, Bluebell Wood in Sheffield and Shooting Star Chase in Surrey.
