Published in Touching Lives June 2006

As you may have read in previous issues, we launched our Touching Lives Tribute Funds in January this year, and we’re pleased to report that they are going from strength to strength.

Our fund-holders and their families are fundraising in many different ways to support their funds:

Nic and Sam Downer have set up an online sponsorship page in memory of their twins, Nathaniel and Sadie. Nic is also planning a sponsored tandem parachute jump, and the twins’ grandmother, Gill, is arranging a line dancing party. All monies raised by this Tribute Fund will go to our Touching Tiny Lives Campaign.

Lucy Netherway’s parents, Anne and John, along with friends and family, have made gifts on special anniversaries, through a friends birthday party and In Memoriam donations. Anne’s work colleague has generously set up a direct debit to commit monthly gifts into the fund.

Wendy Stannard’s friends organised a very successful ‘Old Girls’ football match in memory of the former Action Medical Researcher. Paul Simpson’s dad, Stuart, has raised funds by taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge, sponsored by friends and family.

Jane Atkinson’s family have set up a tribute fund from the In Memoriam donations made in her honour.

Thank you to all our tribute fund-holders for kindly sharing your stories and memories with us. Click here for more information about Touching Lives Funds.
