WOW! What a day yesterday was! 🥹 A great ending to January and a fabulous start to the year for @maggiesstillbirthlegacy!
I was asked to go to gap today to do a talk & show them our memory boxes for bereaved parents to see if they wanted to fundraise for us in 2025.
What I didn’t know was ….. THEY HAVE REALLY BEEN FUNDRAISING THE WHOLE OF 2024!!!
I was so nervous when I walked in the board room & there was so many people there.
I saw Emma Lancaster so that put me at ease a tiny bit.
Then I saw Graham Liver from BBC radio
Lancashire & I was so confused as I didn’t know he worked at gap!
HE DOESNT.
He played a trick and said he came to see my talk and to do a small interview on the recent BCAv award I received.
We did a bit of an interview & that’s when Ian Lax interrupted & told me why I was really there ….
GAP RAISED A MASSIVE £5000 through 2024 😱
I can’t tell you how much this will help bereaved families, my angel mummy group Little Lifetimes 🦋 & it’s a massive chunk towards our next big fundraising effort to buy a cuddle cot, cuddle blanket, provide parent, sibling & grandparent memories boxes to east Lancashire palliative care at home team.
I cried a lot!
My full body was shaking with shock!
Vicky McGurk is in so much trouble for keeping this secret 🤣
Thank you for all you do for Maggie’s and being the BEST patron to us!
THANK YOU SO SO much to all involved & the huge efforts you have all put in to support us 👼🏼💜
