Throughout 2011, Pam Dickins, Kevin Blazer & the Marden Family have been fundraising for CRY, in Memory of Mark Marden, who sadly left us at the age of 18 and also for The Sick Children’s Trust for Kevin’s son who had a rare form of cancer when he was just 6 weeks old. They all received the support of their colleagues at Aviva and also their friends and family during the year, thank you!

Many varied events were held which included Pam running the 2011 London Marathon, a virtual balloon race, a chocolate quiz and several cake bakes.

The main event took place on 15th October 2011 with the amazing Choctober Charity Ball, the evening at Dunston Hall was attended by 160 friends and family and was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all as they danced the night away with a live band. A silent auction was also held on the evening and the grand raffle drawn.

All of these events have helped them to raise £7866.08 which was split equally between the charities.”
