AUTUMN UPDATE 2018

Hi Everyone,

Well the summer is over and now into the autumn months and soon winter. Only 4 weeks to Christmas so lots of preparations and very quickly it will be lots of excited children waiting for that magical day when Santa arrives.

It was a sad time for us all here at the fund with the passing of Natalie one of our trustees. Natalie's family requested the donations made at her funeral were passed on to Megan's Fund which totalled to £251.00  which we thank them for. We all know that Natalie would be happy about that. We will miss her so much .She was on board with us  at the very beginning. God Bless Nat you will always be with us.

We have some more people to thank for donations made.

Firstly THE LADIES AT SUNDAY TEAS AT ST LUKES DUSTON who presented us with a cheque for £100. Many thanks for your support ladies  so kind of you to think of us.X

 

Next we would like to thank our ALI HARPER AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL HYDRANENCEPHALY FOUNDATION USA. They awarded us The ^ Brayden Alexander ^ Memorial Grant for Volunteerism of $500.  We have been friends and members of the group for many years as Megan had this condition and found the support and information invaluable to us. Despite the hundreds of miles that separate us all firm friendships and love have been forge to span across the years .One wonderful thing that the internet can take some credit for.
Thank you to Our Hydranencephaly  Family for your support. It's amazing that our special Angels  memories go on to help other children and families  Love and hugs to you all at the foundation  and to all the families 

Ali and Brayden.

Many thanks to Everyone Much Love from Everyone at M.F.F. xxx

SUMMER SEASON UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

Our update for over the Summer months is one of sadness. On July 24th our dear friend and trustee  Natalie Marsh lost her fight with cancer. The sadness that filled our hearts was monumental. Natalie was not only a trustee but Anna's  lifelong best friend, Megan's Godmother and a wonderful fun loving generous lady. Her loss will be felt by many for a long time and our thoughts and love  surround her two sons Nathan and Jarred, partner Darren and her family in the months ahead.
We will miss her so much. Natalie was on board right at the beginning of the start of Megan's Flutterby  Fund and was the quiet fund trustee, raising funds for the gifts for the children for the parties and attending out of her busy life schedule to help at functions and just generally muck in wherever we needed help. Rest in Peace Natalie you will always be close in our hearts forever.


Our other news is to say a huge thank you to Donna Marriott for her donation of £344.78p.
Donna started the rock painting off in Duston.  LOVE ON THE ROCKS DUSTON.  Donna and other artists painted rocks that could be purchased for charity plus others that could be hidden.It has been such an amazing time with everyone joining in painting rocks and hiding around Duston to find and then re hide. We would like to thank her and all the other artists that help raise this amount for 3 local charities, ours being one. You can find the link to this and the rock painting on Face Book Page Love on the Rocks Duston and will be able to see all the fabulous rocks and updates.

We hope you all have had a wonderful Summer and enjoyed your holidays and are looking forward to the Autumn and events that this season brings.

Much  Love to you from us all

EASTER DISCO PARTY

Hi Everyone,

Today we had an Easter Party Disco for the children. It was so much fun.  We have to say a big thank you  to Paul and Tracy Odams  for entertaining the children ( and Parents lol ) with music, games and dancing. It was lovely to meet up with old members of the group and new ones that joined us  with their families.
A big thank you to all the awesome people that donated towards food and Easter eggs for all the children to take home ........ a lot of chocolate is going to be eaten . Your generosity is really wonderful and without you all helping us it wouldn't happen.
Posting  few pictures of our fun time. xxxx

Summer Holidays AND Now Autumn

Hi Everyone,

We hope that you have all had a wonderful Summer and those that have been away on holiday have had lots of fun and enjoyed it all.
We have to mention a thank you to Helen Wingfield who ran the Milton Keynes half marathon to raise funds for us. Many thanks Helen and I have heard from her mum that she and he  husband are expecting their first baby in the New Year. Such wonderful news congratulations to you both.

Summer has been quiet as usual but we have had enquires about equipment and awaiting feed back from professionals etc. which all takes a little time.

We now have a group on Face Book called "The Attic Emporium" which has a number of things For Sale that have been donated to us or are all Handmade crafts. There will be more items for sale as we build up towards Christmas and we have already got tables booked for the November
 Table Top / Craft Event  at St Francis Church will post later for that event date etc.

I hope all the children have had a lovely first day back to school and all those changing schools or just starting good luck and really happy times ahead.
Sending lots of healing love to any of the children that are sick at this time or undergoing treatment we send all our thoughts to you and your family and get well soons.

With all our Best Wishes

All of us at Megan's Fund  xxx
