We’re gonna need a bigger boat…

Blatantly cap in hand here

Filed under: Uncategorized

My Mum has Emphysema. It sucks big time.

I’m sure we all have our favourite "causes" and I’m sure you all do what you can. Well, as a small business owner, this is something I can do, so I am blatantly using my blogs, website and any other avenue I can to try to help my parents in their fund raising efforts. Usually this will be simply a few bits for sale. But this time we’re going just a bit further. My Dad is doing a sponsored abseil and I’m running a competition to help raise money to add into that pot.

I hate seeing my family being ill and doing something helps us all feel just a little bit better about it. Hopefully we can make a difference to some lives too. We’re hoping to fund or part fund a Breathe Easy nurse - a bit like Macmillan but trained to deal with chronic lung conditions.

Want to win some Homeopathic remedies? Fancy trying soap nuts? Got kids who like lovely wooden jigsaws? All prizes have been donated by small businesses known to me.

Then enter the Competition here.  Answer a couple of questions, drop me an email - with a donation for the British Lung Foundation (Which I’ll pass on to my Mum and Dad for the South Wales Breathe Easy groups) and your name will go in the virtual hat.

Good Luck and thank you!
