We were thrilled earlier this year to cross the £500,000 threshhold in donations received – our thanks go out to everyone who has attended any of our fundraising events, given so generously in sponsorship, appointed us as their preferred charity, donated in memory of a loved one, or simply put a pound in a collecting tin for a badge – it all counts!
