Another successful day was had in Cannock today where we raffled two love hampers for Valentine’s Day in aid of Lupus West Midlands. One of the luscious hampers was packed with a range of designer perfumes kindly donated by ’Kiss and Make up’ of Cannock. The other was a lover’s delight comprising of Thornton’s chocolates and champagne flutes for that cosy night in tomorrow.
Shoppers of Cannock gave generously in a bid to grab the prizes raising £210.50.
The winning tickets have been posted in Thornton’s window – so make sure you get along and check if you were one of the lucky winners.
As well as the usual fund raisers, Moira and Bill, we had three new helpers during this event. My cousin Michelle and her two very helpful children, James and Jessica, joined us. Michelle has been recently been diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome which is closely related to Lupus. Michelle is learning to manage the effects of this harsh disease whilst further spreading the word.
So the fight goes on as people’s awareness has been further raised by today’s campaign.
Thank you to everyone who donated and especially to Cannock Shopping Centre for hosting our stall.
