Sharon Supporters' Sponsored Silence!


Aupporter of hopeful Kilimanjaro trekker, Sharon Cherry, have completed another brilliant fundraiser to help Sharon reach her sponsorship target of £3,600.


Staff at a local hairdressing salon took part in a 6-hour sponsored silence, and between them raised an amazing £450! Sharon told us the story;


"My aunt runs the salon near to my home, and very generously offered to hold a six-hour sponsored silence to help raise funds. She said it was hard, but her customers lip read to her to decide what style they wanted to make her feel better! The total was fantastic, and I made sure to send a bouquet of flowers as a thank you for all their efforts."


At this rate, Sharon will hit her target in no time at all! If you have been inspired by Sharon's success, please visit the Leukaemia CARE fundraising website: http://www.raise4leukaemia.org.uk/ for lots of ideas as to how you can get involved with supporting the charity.
