Update on the tea party!

[Sarah]

We raised around £180 in just two hours :hyper:

We already have over £1,000 to send off to Edward's Trust.

The money just keeps coming in!

It was really manic at the school. My Mum helped and my sister and my dh and boy did we need them!!

I had some gorgeous balloons printed with the Christopher's Fund logo and McDonalds donated some of the stick things that you put them on and my sister an dh spent the whole two hours blowing up balloons and putting them on sticks!
All the children went away with a balloon as a momento which was really nice.

Morrisons gave us £45 worth of stuff for the party yesterday and I've just taken £20 back which was really good. They wanted to make sure we had enough and were happy for us to bring back the stuff that we didn't use and I was happy to do that.

They only usually let people have £5 to spend but the GM there has also lost a son so it's something close to his heart.
Thanks for all your support and good wishes.

Thank you.

I don't know whether you can tell from the pics but we had some balloons printed with the Christopher's Fund logo on with his picture and each child had one to take away with them.
