Grand Total is Now In ................

We all visited Nancy Taylor at Loros on Sunday evening and presented her with the rest of the money that we had collected.  Photos were taken and hopefully we will get one on here for you to look at soon, and there will be something in the next Loros Newsletter, as well as the Leicester Mercury.

The GRAND TOTAL IS £12,603.56 !!!

This is a fantastic amount and we are all really proud to have been part of this.  Nancy very kindly showed us around the hospice and explained what the money could be used for and we were all surprised at how modern and lovely the place is.  Their 25 year official anniversary is next year and there will be lots of events taking place so please do visit their website and get involved or attend some events.  Maybe you would like to take part in a challenge?  The lads really enjoyed their London to Paris adventure and they said that there were people with a range of abilities and fitness taking part - so really anyone can do it. 

Maybe you could arrange your own little event or instead of sending each other Christmas Cards this year at work or within your family - all donate instead and give to Loros?  They really do a fantastic job there and provide so much love and care, and depend on so much help from the public by fundraising.  They can take a maximum of 31 patients at any one time, and the age range is massive - we tend to think that only older people get really ill, but teenagers also stay and use the facillities at Loros.

One event that looks to be really special is the pantomime "Jack and the Beanstalk" at The Little Theatre in Leicester.  Only a few tickets are left (£10 per person) - these are obtainable directly via the fundraising team at Loros on 0116 2318431 / 32  - The theatre have sold out of their tickets already.  Dates are 18 December right up to 9 January 2010, but not all dates are available.

Again, a Big Thank You to all those who have supported, donated and helped in lots of ways.  We couldn't have reached that total without you!

Have a Great Christmas and New Year

Best Wishes

Tony, Fay, Frank, Pete & Val
