Mum's Fundraising Page

.

Brenda, my mum, January 1944 - August 2007

Following a great suggestion from Pierre, one of the blog's readers, I have started a justgiving.com page to raise money for CORDA, a charity that works to prevent heart disease and strokes. CORDA funds specialist, high quality research into the prevention of heart disease and stroke using early, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment.

So if you want to donate anything, in memory of Mum, you can do so by clicking here. (And if you want to grab a widget or email people about Mum's fundraising page you can go here).

This is a special online campaign, in addition to Mum's main appeal, which is for the Vidiyal Trust (working with children in India and run by one of Mum's friends) and the St. George's Church (Kitchen Fund) that was to have been Mum's next project. Donations for these two registered charities ( in lieu of flowers) can be made via Allcock Family Funeral Services.

As neither of these two (very small) charities are linkable via justgiving.com, I have chosen a heart disease/stroke charity instead, so that people who have emailed asking if they can donate in Mum's memory now have a secure and easy way to do so. Thank you. P.S: I apologise for the group email that has just gone out to all my address book contacts
