Celebration fundraisers
Thank you to everyone who has kindly asked for donations instead of gifts for a special occasion such as their Birthday or Anniversary, we are so grateful to all of you for your generosity. Unfortunately space prevents us from mentioning you all, but here are just a few examples. Leon Schater and Michael Dobrin collected an amazing £1,700 and £1,500 respectively in donations from their friends and family in celebration of their 70th Birthdays. Other special occasions include Roger Turner who collected £605 for his 60th Birthday and Julie and Michael Davidson who collected £240 at their Ruby wedding anniversary celebrations.
Dan and Emma Woodhouse got married in September this year and decided to give Prostate UK charity pin badges to their guests as wedding favours. Emma says 'We felt that the badges would be an interesting and worthwhile gift, whilst being a different and fun way of raising awareness of prostate diseases. We would definitely encourage others to do the same!'
Karl Monahan did a 15,000 foot sponsored skydive for his 30th Birthday and has so far raised £600. He said: 'The dive was amazing and I wanted to go straight back up as soon as I landed. I can't wait to book another one!'
