Since
losing Leanne we have
held several fundraising
events. As she was
such a lover of sport
these tended to be
different sporting
activities, but although
she loved her sport she
also loved dressing up
in a Posh Frock
and having fun partying.
So we
decided that on February
20th we would
hold a celebration for
her birthday being
Leanne’s
Posh Frock and Black Tie
do.
We
contacted one of our
local pubs (where Leanne
used to pop into with
her friends during their
final year of school,
before going to
University) and asked
them to help us with our
idea, which they were
only to pleased to do.
We were
told the venue would
hold 70 guests and we
planned to hold a 3
course meal, auction,
raffle and disco.
Once the news of this
got around we were sold
out within 72 hours! "Oh
well, its definitely
going to happen then" we
all agreed!
So many
people wanted to come we
had to have a list of
names on standby just in
case we had anyone drop
out.
People
came from all over -
there was Leanne’s old
school and University
friends; our friends;
David and Laura’s
friends - and their
beautiful baby daughter
Phoebe Leanne (only 7
months old and Leanne’s
1st niece)
came along to.
There
were also
local
business people; local
councillors and work
colleagues; we had
people travelling from
Jersey, Somerset and
Wales to mention but a
few.....WOW, so many
people still want to
remember our daughter
and support one another,
bless them.
