Last night our friends Lynn and Shaun organised a fundraiser with band Athenry at the British Legion in Yaxley. They told us that they would do everything to organise the night and they were true to their word! Shaun had managed to set up a 'before and after' dvd so that we could clearly show Daniel's wonderful progress and this was shown halfway through the night, while the band had a break. There was also a raffle and again Lynn and Shaun had arranged everything and found some wonderful prizes, including a diving experience and an off-roading day. There were also prizes donated by various businesses in Yaxley and Huntingdon, thankyou to you all we will be sending thankyou letters very soon! The band were fab and played up until midnight, they also gave their time for free, as did the British Legion.
This was our last official fundraiser and Lynn and Shaun raised £800 for Daniel. Overall we have raised £22,000 and together with our own savings have paid for Daniel's treatment in America. Thankyou to anyone who has donated, given their time and supported Daniel and ourselves during our fundraising over the last nine months. You have all been fantastic and have helped us change our son's future for the better. We will continue to update the blog so please keep checking his progress.
