Huge thanks to everyone who continues to support us.
HUGE thanks to Let's Go Recycle who are now organising collections on our behalf in Liverpool and the surrounding area. We're also very grateful to the staff at LOORG (Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group) for donating such a fantastic amount of clothing. Here is Ian from Let's Go Recycle collecting the donations from the staff at LOORG. Wendy would be so pleased that we have this connection with Liverpool, given how much of her treatment took place there.
We were delighted to recently meet Prof Sarah Coupland from the Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group (LOORG) when she came to visit us at home. This gave us the opportunity to hand over the cheque for the latest £35,000 and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us to raise this money to support their vital research.
We are hugely grateful to the three clothing companies (Smart Recycling Ltd; Eurotex Ltd and Anglo Doorstep Collections) who continue to make regular collections in various areas of the country (North Yorkshire and surrounding area; West Yorkshire and the South of England) because the money they raise enables us to carry on supporting cancer patients and their families, as well as making donations to further the work of eye tumour research.
These are booked collections and they are advertised on community facebook pages, where all details are given about how to book a collection.
Many thanks to everyone who has already donated clothes etc and thank you in advance to those who plan to donate in the future. We really appreciate your invauable support.
We would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and to say the biggest thank you for the amazing support you have given to Wendy's Wish this year. It has been a year like no other but, thanks to your generosity, we have raised in excess of £27,000, in spite of having to cancel our planned ball. We are hugely grateful to Smart Recycling Ltd, Anglo Recycling Company Ltd and Eurotex Ltd for continuing to organise clothes collections and for raising the vast majority of this year's money. Take care everyone and stay safe.
We are delighted to be able to help these wonderful people with their continuing research into all forms of ocular melanoma (eye cancer) and their mission to improve patient care and survival. We would like to say another HUGE thank everyone who has supported us so generously, thus enabling us to make this donation of £10,000. Disappointingly, at the moment, we are unable to visit the LOORG team in Liverpool but hope to be able to sometime next year.
We realise that lockdown will have been particularly challenging for those people who have cancer and we wanted to find some way of giving them a treat. We have been distributing hampers to cancer patients in our area and have received some lovely comments:
‘What a wonderful gift, it’s beautiful thank you’
‘How lovely what a surprise! Thank you’
‘It’s so kind. Thank you for thinking of me’
This is exactly the sort of thing Wendy would have wanted us to do and we’re very grateful to Fodder, of Harrogate, for making up these lovely hampers and to all the health care professionals who have distributed them for us.
We are very grateful to Joshua Fothergill for running 1000 miles in a year in aid of Wendy's Wish. What a wonderful way for this special young man to remember Wendy, who was Josh's Godmother. Thank you very much Josh.
Huge thanks to Sarah Smith, for nominating our charity, and all the staff at North Yorkshire Police HQ for raising the fantastic sum of £255.50 from their bake and books sale. We really appreciate their kindness and generosity. 🌈🌻
TOTAL WARRIOR. We would like to say a huge well done to Guy and Nicola Blumer for recently completing Total Warrior and a massive thank you for raising £396 for Wendy's Wish. Big thanks, too, to everyone who sponsored them. Guy and Nic - you are awesome!
