Anyone who knew my lovely mum would know that she was worth celebrating. I wanted to mark her passing in a positive and happy way - a way she would have been proud of.
As a Putney resident for most of her life and a willing
volunteer for Age UK
Wandsworth and their 'Be a Friend' scheme - even into her early 80's! - raising money for them seemed the
obvious choice. Imagine my delight when
I rang them to propose my fundraising idea and they readily remembered her and
sang her praises.
So ... Putney/Wandsworth/London residents, why not come and
join us at a local event that promises to be heaps of fun and all for a good
cause (click on picture below for details). Age UK works tirelessly to support the
elderly. They recognise that growing old can be lonely but their vision is for
a world where everyone can love later life.
And if you can't be with us on the night but would like to
support my cause, please visit my JustGiving page and donate as little or as much
as you can. On behalf of my mum and the
elderly residents of Wandsworth, I thank you.
