On Saturday 3rd October, I hosted a black tie charity fundraising evening at The Ivy Country Hotel in Oulton Broad, Suffolk, in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA). I’m thrilled to say we’ve raised £9,686 so far, and we’re closing in on our £10,000 target.
A night to remember
Months of planning came together on the night: a beautiful setting, a live auction, a raffle packed with generous prizes, and a room full of people who showed up for a great cause. As a Suffolk personal trainer with over 24 years in fitness, I’ve always believed in the power of community, and this evening was the best example of it I’ve seen.
Thank you, Suffolk
This wouldn’t have happened without a brilliant group of people who gave their time, skills and generosity: Ivy House Country Hotel, Niche Agency Ltd, Lion Properties Ltd, NEBOair Ltd. A special thank you to Ellie and the team at the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND Association) for their support throughout. And thank you to every business and individual who generously donated a prize, and to every guest who came along and gave so generously.
Help us reach £10,000
Our JustGiving page is open until the end of October. Every donation, however small, supports people living with motor neurone disease and their families.
