Wendy Neale has very kindly organised for a Barn Dance at Navestock Village Hall on 21st February 2009 in aid of Tilly's Appeal Fund.

The first dance is at 7.30pm and the night will end at 11pm.  A raffle will also be taking place during the evening.  Anyone who is interested can contact me through the website or call me on: 07975-978082.

Tickets are £8 for adults and £2 for children.

Please support!!! Wendy has kindly made a huge effort to organise the event and we are very grateful to her for her kindness.

Tilly is finally leaving for Washington DC next Saturday, September 22nd, with Research taking place from Monday 24th Sept.

Following the Research, Tilly will be transfered to Virginia during the first week of October to undergo hip surgery.

Feeling nervous now the time has come, but full of hope that Tilly can realise her dream to walk independantly.

There are so many kind people to thank for the past incredible year of raising funds for Tilly, it will take a lifetime for me to thank all of them.

A close friend of ours, Ashley Smith, discussed Tilly's plight with a friend of his over the past few weeks.  His friend was very touched by Tilly's story and, subsequently, decided to approach his Company to ask for support.

As a result of his approach a large financial City based company has very kindly donated £500 to the Fund.

We thanks you so much for your kindness in helping towards our daughter's plight.

Kind regards Colin

I will finally be boxing in 3 weeks time!  I have been training for a few weeks now and despite training 2-3 times a week, it's not getting any easier!!!

I have a brilliant trainer, Micky, at the Real Fight Club who is pushing me all the way in support of the up an coming event.

Alan Lacey, founder of The Real Fight Club, has been magnificent in helping myself and 'Tillys Appeal Fund'.  He is informed me last week that the profit's raised by the intended auction event on the night will be donated to our cause.  This kind support is very well appreciated but I am not surprised to be honest as Alan is a very decent man.

For ticket information please contact: www.therealfightclub.co.uk
The profits of the proceeds for sponsorship and the auction will be split between 'Tilly's Appeal Fund' and 'The Richard House Hospice'.  The hospice opened recently in London and provides support and restbite to parents and their terminally ill children.  We have access to a local hospice and know the incredible support that is given during the most difficult times faced by parents with terminally ill children.

Please offer your support by kindly offering to sponsor me, Tilly's dad, for the up and coming event!!!  Should you wish to support by sponsoring, please email me: colinbailey828@btinternet.com

Looking forward to the event and to hopefully raising a helpful amount for both very good causes, with your support of course!!!

Kind regards

Colin
