Over the last 3 days we have had two fundraising events for our charity.

On Saturday a wonderful lady called Corrie took part in the Gung Ho Leeds. 
If you have never heard of it, it is like a bouncy castle assault course for adults across a 5k course.

The event was at Temple Newsam House and there were thousands of people there all taking part for charities close to their hearts.

I took along my 3 granddaughters to help me cheer Corrie and her partner, Ben, along their way. 

We saw many ambulances being called out during the day to injured participants and we held our breaths a few times hoping that Corrie was not one of them.

We waited patiently cheering other competitors on and I must admit a little jealous that we were not joining in.

At the beginning Corrie had said that she would come down the large slide obstacle to finish the race and would not choose the high jump as her end obstacle. 
We were very surprised to then see her joining the queue to make the jump. She was amazing and jumped off like she did this kind of thing every day. 
My granddaughters were cheering her on throughout the day and you could see that they were really pleased that she made it round in one piece.

We are so thankful to Corrie for choosing to run the race for Charlies Charity and so far she has raised £280.

Then last night we had our evening of mediumship at The New Middleton. We had 2 mediums come along, Adrian Clarke and Jackie Kershaw, and they gave their time for free. We can't thank them enough for their generosity. 
                               

It is the first time we have hosted such an event and were a little nervous hoping that lots of people would come along. 
We needn't have been worried, lots of people came along to support us.

The evening was a great success and many people received messages from their loved ones, including me. 
I was really happy to hear from my mum, and felt that she knew I needed the boost of hearing from her to cheer me up. 
Another of our trustees was also lucky to get a message from his dad. 

We held a raffle during the evening and were amazed at how many people bought tickets.

When we totaled all the ticket sales and the raffle sales we had raised a fantastic £450.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our events over these last few days, without you we wouldn't be able to keep up the support to bereaved families.
