We had a Tombola at my work place Santa’s grotto on the 16th of December and we raised £160. It was a great afternoon, the elf’s took the children and their mums, dads, grandmas and grandads through the woods to see Santa at his wooden shack. The children thought it was magical!!! I would like to say thank you to Sharon West for organising the event and letting us do the Tombola for CRY in memory of our son (Richard Merriman)!  It means a lot to us.  

Also a thank you to my friend Mandy Taylor who did a Christmas raffle at her work place, Martin Brower Distribution, and she raised £530 for CRY! She has been amazing raising thousands of pounds for CRY and always supporting us. She always comes along to our Heart screenings! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful supportive friend like her, it’s humbling!!

Please also thank a friend of ours Stan Suddick for donating £30 to CRY.
