And then, 5 days before Christmas, we heard back from the Cumber Family Trust, who support local causes near Oxford: they most kindly sent us a cheque for £1,250.

What have we got planned now??

– Our Jumble Sale on Saturday 25th February – please come along and grab a bargain as we have been given so much lovely stuff!
– Half time slot at the Oxford United – Bristol Rovers game on March 4th
– And then many other events in the pipeline including a fashion show, wine tasting event, spa day…

I am even trying to get Brian to do a Mud Run….anyone feel like joining him???

So, just left to say, thank you, thank you for staying with us through this, thank you for helping us do everything we possibly can to make sure Thomas gets to realise his potential.
