Dear Fellow Member & Friends
As you all know I have being actively( with help from friends) Trying to raise the awareness for the need for more Organ Donors. Whilst at the same time raising funds toward the Charity New Start which raise fund for the transplant unit where the funds raised are used in many ways too many to list, to help the many people just like myself .
When I and anne were first told I needed a transplant it took a few weeks to sink in… Then I decided not just to sit here waiting for my time. So anne & I wanted to do something positive We set about on our goal.
Being of a military back ground & unable to do many things myself. I wrote to many people put adds on the net to ask anyone out there with military vehicles to help if they could .As We had to have something that people didn’t see every day, and so far it has worked . We have made splashes in the press a few times with thanks to many friends if I listed them all it would fill the site.
The funds raised so far I am unable to give a grand total as funds are still coming in but we are doing well, yet I will keep you as informed as I can .Still open for donations everyone.
Anne & I put our hearts & soles into this, an sadly to say it is starting to take its tole one my health, Doctors say I have to slow things Down & watch myself because after any event They wiped me out & cost me a few days illness, bed ridden. Yet with anne’s Help & care I pull through an try to come up with other ideas to carry on what we had started I have no intention of stopping until I have to give up. So being a tankie it could be a while as We Tankie’s Never give up even when the chips are down We find the strength To fight on…This comes from within,& from your family & friends. My thanks to you all & Fear naught to you all
I Shall carry on.
Hope to see many of you at reunion in Bristol
