FundraSslng Highllghts
Our fundraising year began in wonderful fashion with our flrgt Annual
Charlty Quiz Night on 10th May 2024. hosted by Isla's Aunt18 Elle.
Nearly 100 people joined us for a great evening of tricky questions,
raffles and giggles. We raised £1,685 and were blown away by the
everyone's support and generosity.
On 21¥1 June 2024 we held our flrst Annual Golf Day at Langdon Hills
Golf Club, organisèd by Isla's Great Uncle Andy. 79 golf8rs arrived
dressed in pink for our little girl - and th8 sun shone for a wonderful day.
The event featured another raffle and an emotional evening auction
hosted by West Ham legend Tony Cott8e. Together th8 day raised an
8Xtraordlnary £12.026.50.
Alongslde our charity-run events, we were deeply touched by the number
of people who chose to fundr8lse on our behalf:
Sam, a close family friend, launched tha first
annual Zumbathon In April and raised £2,601.
Arlana, Isla's amazlng sister, completed both a sponsored walk
and a bake sale, raising £1,303.

And from across the pond, Isla's Uncle Mike took on a New York
boxing event
winning his fight and raising a
staggering £11,352.04 for the tharlty.
In tolal. through events. donations, and sponsorships, we rals8d an
incr8dible £21,195.15 (net of expenses) In our first year.

Our "Ray of Sunshlno" scheme, created to bring comfort to babies and
young sufferfng from ultra rare cardiomyopathy diseases at Great

currently the youngest person on the UK heart transplant list. We wer8
privileged to provide an Amazon tablet so he could listen to ¢almlng
music, along with Just Eat vouchers to help his parents during thair long
stay at the hospital.
We also made a heartfelt donation to Alice's Escapes, a charity that
offers respite holidays for families with temiinally ill ¢hildran and providing
solace through bereavement breaks for those who have lost a child. Their
support meant the wotld to us in the early days of our own grief, and it fell
