Kenya Fundraising Update

Hi Everybody

Sorry its been a long time since I did an update but I have been waiting for the 'My Donate' website to be set up so I could give you lots of details on what I have been doing and how you can help me!!

So what have I been up to since my last update....

Well the most exciting thing is that I have now raised £271 !!! So thank you very much for everybody who has helped me so far.

I have raised this mostly by baking cakes!!

We have baked cakes to sell at my mums office to the drivers, we have baked cakes to sell at St Michaels School so thank you to Mrs Gale for letting us do that and thank you to Amany and Erin for selling cakes to their friends during the tuck break!

The most cakes we have baked however was to sell at Amys Dads work. Paul trains policemen in lots of stuff so myself, Amy and Emily went to his work for the day and sold cakes to policemen. They were very generous and hungry because we raised £280 between the three of us which was brilliant! Below is a photo of just some of them! Thank you to Paul for arranging it all!!

We have also done a Table Top Sale with some plants and Cakes which got us into the newspaper.

The most embarrassing thing so far though  is when I had to dress as a toilet and walk down Stone High Street as part of the Stone Festival to raise money for our trip. We were toilets because we are going to be building toilet blocks when we get out to Kididima! I was soooo embarrassed and I havent forgiven my parents yet!

I am the one in the Blue Box hiding my face hoping nobody will recognise me!!

So what else have we got planned.....

A Meal where people buy a ticket and they get a lovely Chinese buffet. The profits from the meal will go to the Kenya trip so expect an invite!

A Paella Night. Chris our next door neighbour has got a Paella dish and we are going to arrange a Paella Party. More details to follow...

Myself, Amy and Emily are going to do a sponsored walk in the Peak District. This will involve overnight camping and about 50-60 mile walk. The route is still being planned!!

I have now managed to get my My Donate web site set up. You can go direct to the right page by typing in www.mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/ellawilliamson or just go into the My Donate website and search for my name. I did my 3km in swim in April but didnt have the website set up then so I would be grateful for any donations.

Thanks again and will send another update soon
