Hello there! It’s Parcel Pete with you today, just thought I’d give you a little catch up of what I’ve been up to recently. On Saturday 14th September I attended The Henry Allen Appeal charity ball in Milton Keynes and what a fab night it was!
The Henry Allen Appeal:
4 year old Henry Allen is fighting against high risk Neuroblastoma, a form of cancer. As treatment in the UK is limited an appeal has been set up for him to raise the £500,000 needed to send him abroad, so far the appeal has raised over £80,000 since being set up in February.
The Charity Ball:
The Charity Ball, organised by Lisa Forrest and assisted by UK Mail employee and appeal team member Emma Boulton, has been 5 months in the making. On the night we had live music from local artists Nicky Prince and her band Soul Selecta & Katie Buckhaven, who was discovered by Michael Parkinson, raffle and silent auction with prestigious prizes. There was also an in house photographer on the night taking my snaps with guests. Local radio station MKFM was also there on the night to support the event.
Funds Raised:
We had a fantastic night; I boogied away with great people and enjoyed a slap up meal. In total the appeal raised £3397, to which ipostparcels.com’s parent company UK Mail, donated an extra £1100 taking the final amount to £4497! A brilliant achievement all round!
