Big Day - Update

The party went well last night. Lots of people came and shopped, and Caroline is that much closer to her target for the fund raising.

It was an enjoyable evening, although some people were obviously put off by the showers, I bet they would have come if they'd known how much fun it would be.

I spent my time mostly with Teresa from Rococo in Sawston as I shared the same room with her and bought one of her gorgeous hats. I'll try and get website details from everyone else who was there and post them here too as there was another jeweller - Luisa Corbelo - and Catchlight Photography and a physiotherapist.

It was hard work too and I am tired today and I still have to tidy everything away again... too late last night to do that.

You can still donate to Caroline's fund raising efforts and the MS Trust by using the link at the top of the page on the lefthand side. Just click on the MS Trust logo.

Big Day

After frantic organising and getting everything ready, the day of the jewellery party in aid of the MS Trust has finally come. If you haven't read about it yet - Caroline is running the London Marathon for her sister who has MS.

The jewellery party is to raise much needed funds and ten percent of all the profits will go to the MS Trust.

There will be another jeweler, a physiotherapist, a photographer, and the Cambridge Evening News has promised to cover it.

If you can't make it to the party but would like to sponsor Caroline and the MS Trust - here's the link, or click on the header or the little blue logo at the top of the page on the left hand side, all will take you to Caroline's fund raising page.

Fingers crossed everybody feels generous...

... so wish us all luck!

London Marathon - Sponsor My Friend Caroline

My friend Caroline is running the London Mararthon this year for the MS foundation, but more specifically for her sister who has MS. This means an awful lot to her and she's working hard - both at the fundraising side and the running.

If you can afford to sponsor her - every little bit helps...

Here, once again, in her own words:

After several unsuccessful years of applying to run the London Marathon, I have finally been offered a place! For the past 10 years I have run 5 and 10k' events and half marathons, but 26 miles is a first for me. I have no doubt that this will be quite a challenge. I will be following a strict training and diet programme . . . no wine!!

But I am inspired on two counts. Yes, the thought of running 26 miles, alongside 40,000 runners exhilarates and at the same time terrifies me, but also I am running to raise much needed funds for the MS Trust - a charity which was the first port of contact when my sister, Yass, was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

I hope you will be supportive and above all sponsor me to run the marathon in support of my sister and the MS Trust.

I thank you in advance, and wish you all well.
