So secondly nomination rules. If you think you or a loved one would like one of these packs then you can nominate yourself or them by commenting on this blog or private emailing me on kirstietancock@icloud.com I could like you to include your full name, your age (must be 17+) your illness/condition which causes you to spend a lot of time in hospital and if you could tell me a bit about yourself and your condition. Also please leave a email address so I can contact you if you have won.

You can have any condition/illness this is not specific for cf or transplant patients, the only stipulation Is that you spend a lot of time in hospital, these packs are created for people who are having a long admission or in and out of hospital. perhaps a rehabilitation from an accident or a life long condition.

Please share this blog, the more nominations I get the better so I can find somebody who truly needs a smile put on the face. The deadline for nominations is the 1st of December as I hope them to go out before Christmas.

Best wishes and thank you to all those who donates to this project, I'm so proud of it and looking forward to the smiles it will create.

2nd Chance Ball 14th july

So Saturday The Ball, Wow. It was such hard work, but totally worth it, I'm so happy with the out come and everyone who came seemed to enjoy the night. I thought I would never run a ball again but have decided 2014 I will do the next one!! It was such a learning curve, but I have really learnt alot and believe next time we can make it even more profitable. We have currently collected in £3000 but have more to come in, I'm really chuffed with this and think its a nice amount.

I made a slide which was shown at the ball, so here's it is Slide please share and hopefully raise more awareness for organ donation.

Here are a few links for the entertainment we used which i highly recommend http://soundcloud.com/honeysol The band Honey Sol Simple on fire!
