BLUE SUNDAY 2015 - THANK YOU

Wow. It's 18:30, my Blue Sunday tea party is coming to an end. I'm still sat drinking tea, wrapped in a blanket outside and still overwhelmed. Together with my online and offline donations, we've raised £553.60!! I can't believe it, I cried. Then my mum cried, so my sister cried. There was a lot of joy! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this important cause, I can tell you that the ME Association and us as sufferers, are incredibly grateful for every single penny you've kindly given!


Anna has done an amazing job at creating this wonderful event, I hope she's super proud of herself because we all are! Thank you for doing this and giving everyone an opportunity to get involved and raising so much awareness, it's people like you who we need more of.

I want to thank everyone who helped me make the day possible, my friends and family who baked for me and also spread the word, it all meant an awful lot to me.

For the people who asked about my T-Shirt you can buy it HERE 

This day meant a lot to me as this was the event that I'd heard about last year, the one which encouraged me to get involved and start this blog. Last year I attempted a cake that ended up looking like a Yorkshire pudding and I just had a piece in bed while I joined in online, so the fact that I was able to host my own event and have my family and friends involved this year was amazing and showed how far I'd come in the past 12 months. Thanks again for making all of that possible, Anna!

If you haven't yet donated and you would like to. The Blue Sunday justgiving page is still going and you can find my page here, you can also see all of the other teams amazing success here. I am so proud of everyone who held their own tea party, I know the planning, hosting and the following days aren't easy on us but you all inspired me to get through the day and it was all 200% worth it, I couldn't be happier with how it went!

Thanks again for all the donations, I can't stop thinking about everyone's generosity, the money is going to an amazing cause and I'm so glad you've all been there to see and contribute to that.
