Rebecca Young and Andrew Tate from Alnwick, contacted us after hearing about the campaign via Duchess Community High School in Alnwick. They asked if they could climb Ben Nevis for Shine the Light on Aniridia to help.....we were SO touched!!
They completed their amazing challenge at the end of August and have been collecting in funds for their feat.
We can't begin to thank them enough for their kindness and generosity - truly they have been amazing.

St Michael and All Angels Church ran a children's fun and fitness day recently with the youth group 'Metal' and raised a huge £125! The event was fantastic with swimming, exercise routines and lots of fun!
The Moore family kindly gave the use of their family pool and garden and the Church ladies provided a wonderful feast of hot food and strawberry cream teas.
Fairy Queen HQ would like to say a huge thank you for all the work the Church have put into raising continually for the campaign and a special thank you to all the young people involved in the fitness event - you are stars!!

The Garden Party on Saturday 21st May 2011 at Acton House in Felton, Northumberland so kindly hosted by Eileen and Alan Ferguson and organised with St Michael and All Angels Church Mission Group, was a HUGE success raising over £13,000 on the day.
We were so honoured to have Professor Julie Daniels at the event all the way from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London and to hear her speak about the research that she and her team will embark on for Aniridia. It was so fantastic to have her there as she is the person who will be in the actual laboratory!
It was a wonderful day and one to remember with 'Pig and Pimms', Jazz music by Trevor Snowdon, a bouncy castle, treasure hunt, plants donated by Alnwick Garden, coffee by Mocha Mondo, facepainting from Atmosphere, ice cream by Morwick Dairy and magic for children!!
Keith and Val Pattinson ran an outstanding auction and raffle with Gill Gilthorpe's wonderful help and MC John Roberts got everyone in the mood for a great day!
Barbara Butchert, Nancy Innerd, Pat Shephard and Rita Moore were the A Team along with Eileen Ferguson who managed months of meetings and organising to get the event up and running.
There were so many people who helped on the day, prior and have since. We couldn't begin to thank everyone here - so this is a BIG THANK YOU to you ALL!!! |
