Hi Everyone,

We have had a very busy week here at the HoneyRose Foundation. We have had lots of application forms in and booked lots of special days.

A lady has been to Gibralter Point today as her last wish, all she wanted was to smell the sea breeze one last time. We arranged for East Midlands Ambulance Service to pick her up from hospital and take her and her two sons there. We hope that they have a day to remember which i am sure they will.

We also organised for a lady from Liverpool to enjoy a trip on the Orient Express with her friend. A young boy of eight from South Wales will be a mascott for Cardiff City Football Club on 21st August as a last wish for his mum, we look forward to hearing from them after the event. This week we have also provided a young family with a day out at Chessington Zoo and a match at West Ham United. We hope that everyone enjoys their special days together.

Today i have been to a meeting with the Worshipful Mayor Neil Taylor who had lots of ideas and it was a very informative meeting. We discussed different ideas  and ways of moving forward and i look forward to meeting with him again.

On 21st August we are holding the Dragon Boat Race which is a sponsored event. Last year the HoneyRose Foundation came 2nd so hopefully this year we will top that. Last year it was a fantastic day and everyone who came had lots of fun.

On the 22nd August Lucy Dawber from Halifax is holding a funday for us. Lucy approached us via email and the event is going ahead and sounds fantastic. I will be attending also so this will be a busy weekend for me which i am looking forward to.

We are trying to sell tickets for our annual Autumn Ball which is to be held at the Devonshire House Hotel in Liverpool. Tickets are £40 and they incluse a full night of entertainment and three course evening meal. George Michael Tribute Act, Stavros Flatley Tribute act, Magician raffle and disco are all on the line up for this event and we are really looking forward to seeing our secret millionaire Charlie Mullins and his wife Linda at this event. For tickets please ring 01744451919 or 07838238309.

We also had an event held for us on Sunday at Rainford. the event was organised by Mark and Kerry Ledwith a couple whose mum we helped at the charity with a special day. They had organised a football match between Rainford Football Club and Rockwear Football Club, Rainford won our HoneyRose Foundation trophy and it was a brilliant day. They raised £380 for us which was fantastic and are going to hold the event yearly.
