In addition to this there was a raffle, auction, tshirt selling, my nepthew Willem sold some of his old toys and my family also organised a bake sale.
Now to the thank yous i would like to thank my family individually my mum Margaret, dad Paul, step dad Terry, step mum Sylvia, brothers Phil, Chris, Martin, Paul, sisters Hayley and Julie, other family members Stephen, Mitchell, Julia, Sam, Michelle, Julie, Willem, Jessica, Megan, Emily, Thomas, Willem, Megan, Thomas, Katie, Auntie Margaret, Grandad, Uncle Keith, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Richard, Phil, Sandra, Auntie Maureen
Also a big thank you to all the lads that played in the match and my friends and family friends that helped raise money and set up the event.
In total the money raised from the event was £2295 which is a fantastic effort and we hope to to make the event annual.

Hello Matthew, sorry to interupt on your blog, i came across it on the BCRT website. I am the mother of Bradley Mills whose blog is also available to read.
ReplyDeleteReading through yours just now bought back all the memories of those early diagnosis days and the first few chemo sessions, you're doing well honey, keep your chin up and be strong.
I read what you said about the amputation prospect, Bradley has also had a BK Amputation and gets on fantastically with his prosthesis and one day hopes to get back on the rugby field as a coach and referee instead of a player, but on the rugby field is where he needs, and wants to be one day, once again. Hopefully you won't have to go down this route, but rather you were here with a bit missing and a useable prosthesis than not eh.
Bradley has two blogs, one was his original Ewings journey bradnum12.blogspot.com the other is the most recent for his 2nd tumour which is on the site, you may find some similarities as you go through your own personal journey, but rest assured that you are not alone and there is plenty of help and advice if needed around.
Take care and I'll keep reading your posts to see how you are doing.
Michaela and Bradley
