A letter recently arrived from our daughters school. At first I thought it a "normal" school communication. The letter informed us that the school council has planned a cake sale for today Friday 7th December. Our daughter `Hope' 10yrs, enjoys making cakes to sell at school for these events, so I read on, the cakes would be sold for 20p each. The money raised would be divided between two charities Macmillan Nurses and Wish Upon a Star
Why these two charities ? .........both were involved with Ronaldas Janovic 9 years, who died of cancer in October. Ronaldas was a pupil in our daughters school. Hope made her cakes last night taking a lot of pride in what she was doing and carefully carried them to school this morning................
Macmillan Nurses, for many people affected by cancer, are a valued and trusted source of expert information, advice and support - free of charge. As of December 2011, there were 3,707 Macmillan nurse posts across the UK, both in hospitals and in the community.
Wish Upon a Star aim is to simply make magical memories for a Wish child and their family to remember for a lifetime. By granting a Wish, this enables the family to have a truly amazing time forgetting about hospital routines, doctor's appointments and the gruelling treatments that have become a daily occurrence and allowing the whole family to smile, laugh and enjoy life!
