July Update

Hello everyone, thought I should write to update you all on how things are going. Hannah is well and still on the oral chemo, she now weighs enough to have tablets once a day instead of measuring out the liquid which is a lot easier. Her last clinic appointment showed her bloods to be all normal and that she is growing and obviously putting back on all the weight she lost, and more besides!! She broke up from school on July 11th and finished year 3 and attended most of it which is great. She performed well as part of team Mexico in sports day in the last week of term and managed to dodge the hail, thunder, lightening,rain etc. Hannah and I did manage to run the Race for Life though this year, an event we love to do but which was rained off last year, Hannah ran most of the way and told me I had not done bad considering my age! Bless her. The football day down in Kent was a huge success and we raised around £700 which is fantastic. Well done to Hannah's Heroes who made it through to the Semi's but lost to the eventual winning team. It was a great day and the weather was kind and thankyou so much to all those who helped organise and support on the day, especially Chris Lock, you are a star, thankyou. We have our Cricket Day coming up on the 2nd August and I am sure the sun will shine for that again just like last year, see the events pages for more info on that along with the Dragon Boats day in September which should be fantastic fun. Also Chris Lock, a great supporter of ours, is looking to get together a team to do the Three Peaks this year, if anyone is interested or can offer support to this Event please contact me on mailto:claredpalmer@aol.comand I will put you in touch with Chris, any help greatly received. Another wonderful supporter Chris Stav cycled the famous route from John O Groats to Lands End to raise money for our cause. A massive thanks to him too and he really enjoyed it to boot!! Further thanks must go to Glen who jumped out of a plane to support us and raised an amazing amount of money. To all our wonderful amazing supporters, thankyou from the bottom of my heart. We are now looking forward to the summer and hope the sun starts to shine soon.
