This year we teamed up with our friend Mark, who raises funds for Parkinsons UK.
Along with our usual stalls we decided that this year we would have a car boot sale as well.
We were very fortunate to be able to use the grounds at Leeds Corinthians RUFC, which meant that we had the use of a very large field.
We had many varied stall holders turn up selling their goods and donating to the charities by paying for their ground pitch.
We had lots of support from other groups who came along and gave their time for free. We can never say thank you enough to all of these people.
During the day we ran a few stalls ourselves. One of our regular money taking stalls is the Tombola stall and it didn't let us down again today.
I always enjoy having a go on the tombola stall when I go to fayre's so we know it is always a good people puller.
Our other tried and tested was the inflatable slide and bouncy castle.
We had a few issues with the electricity throughout the day and in the end had to settle with just using the slide.
We were still able to raise a great amount of funds from it and there were many happy little faces coming off the slide.
Once again Charlies cousins came along to help at the event and they decided this time to have their own stall to get rid of some of their old toys.
They also helped with other things throughout the day and even helped with the litter picking at the end.
They make us feel very proud of them and we know Charlie would be very proud of them as well.
The total amount raised during the day was £428 which means an amazing amount of £214 for each charity.
We cant say thank you enough to everyone who came along and supported both of the charities and made the day a great success.
