Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
From February 2015 to February 2016 I will be fundraising as much as I can in aid of my 50th year. I have a birthday in December which as anyone knows with that time of year, people don't celebrate with you as they don't have money or time due to Xmas. So to make up for birthdays that have gone a bit flat, I thought I would make this year a celebration all year round - and try and numb the pain of being 50 at the same time!!
However, birthdays may have been flat, but in the grand scheme of things, many people don't get to celebrate them at all, or just have a memory on a birthday of the person they have lost. So this year isn't going to be just about me, but about people in need.
So I am looking for 49 other Hayley's across the country to meet up with me in Norwich and to all wear Macmillan t shirts with "I am Hayley" on (which I will supply) for a big photo shoot. Email me on haymac33@hotmail.com if you can help with this or pass on to any Hayleys you know so I can send full details.
I will be making a huuuge Ace of Cakes/Cake Boss style cake for auctioning - more details to follow to get your company involved in the bidding.
I will be holding a game show night - you pay for a raffle ticket for as many game shows you want to try and be a contestant in and if your raffle ticket is pulled out, you get the chance to play and win some cash prizes and other prizes.
There will also be a treasure hunt around Norfolk - you will get a map and clues and have to find the answers as well as collecting various items on route for the tie breaker.
I am also running Marriotts Way 10k in October and want to knock 50 seconds off my last time. I am having selfies taken with 50 different animals - so if you own an unusual pet and are will to donate for me to come have a photo with it which will be posted just about everywhere, so that your pet is in the final 50 selfie collage....

Dig deep in your pockets to help me reach my goal of fifty hundred pounds (ok five thousand, and whilst I would looove to raise 50 thousand, I thought this might be more attainable!)
The money is going to MacMillan nurses, who do the most fabulous job when people need it most. Visit their website, or I bet someone you know has sadly had to use their services. People suffering with cancer often have no-one or will be left with no-one when they lose their loved one and Macmillan make this that much easier.
