Millys SmilesWe had some lovely people challenging themselves with this tough half marathon, in order to raise money of Milly’s Smiles. Danielle Etherington and Abi Gallucci proudly wore their Milly’s Smiles T-shirts as they ran 13 miles, raising a great amount for a great cause. Thank you so much guys, you are helping us make a huge difference to families from the North West.
Earlier this year, we asked if anybody could help us with our mission to include a knitted rainbow elephant in our Welcome Bags. We were overwhelmed with the response from people who were willing to donate their time and knit this lovely cute elephants for us. We have had knitters from Eysium Community Centre knitting for us, ladies from Ribble Valley Breast Friends Group, and other kind individuals too. The team work amongst knitters has been brilliant, there has been knitters, stuffers and sewers all working together! We love it and we love the elephants too. Thank you to each and every person who has helped in anyway, and keep up the good work!
20th March 2016 marked the first anniversary of Milly’s Bone Marrow Transplant. In order to honour Milly’s journey through transplant, Milly’s mum has decided that on this anniversary, every year she will do something special to mark this occasion to recognise Milly’s fighting spirit and love for life. This year she managed to persuade 3 other people to join her in running a half marathon in London, training began in November 2015 and on Sunday 20th March, Lorraine, Helen, David and Fliss completed the 13 mile run for Milly. Now to plan for next years challenge!
