Before Yvette became ill she spent many happy years at Parson Street Primary School.  She used to love going to school, the teachers liked her and she had many friends.  She was invited back as a guest and the day that the school held a fundraising day to help raise funds.  The day was amazing and they raised £400 for the campaign.  Thank you to everyone for your support.  The picture shows Yvette with some of the pupils at the school.  Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

Children at a primary school in St.Paul's Bristol held a food sale to help raise funds for the Campaign.  The pupils from the Year Six class at St.Barnabas Primary School contacted local shops and businesses to ask for contributions.  The sale was a great success and was reported next day in the Bristol Evening Post.  The picture shows Kiesha, Bilan and Shikira and can be enlarged by clicking on the thumbnail.

Shelley Thomas and her cousin Lauren Perrett did their own sponsored run around Ashton Park in Bristol.  They completed the circuit twice and were able to raise the impressive sum of £67.  This is a great effort by the two girls and we thank them both, as well as everyone that supported them.  The picture on the right shows Shelley with Yvette.  Click on thumbnail to enlarge.

The pupils of Ashton Park School in Bristol excelled themselves beyond any expectations that we may have had.  They organised several fundraising events, the main one being a "non-uniform day".  So how did they do?  They were able to raise £1,800.  Ashton Park School is special to us as it is Yvette's school and her brother Solomon also goes there.  Unfortunately Yvette has never been able to attend classes due to her condition, and has to be taught at home.  Clearly the staff and pupils at Ashton Park School care very much for Yvette and we thank all who were involved in this great fundraising effort.

Four pupils from Ashton Park School in Bristol raised £160 for the Campaign by washing cars.  Faye Sellars, Emmaleigh Coates, Letoyah Sampson and Charlie Feltham are pupils at the school that Yvette has never been able to attend due to her illness.  The photo on the left is from the Bristol Evening Post.  Click on the thumbnail to enlarge it. 

Lucas Moon-Alvarez from Bristol is having a party for his sixth birthday - but he doesn't want any presents.  He has asked his family and friends to give money instead to help Bedminster girl Yvette Gate.  This story appeared in the Bristol Evening Post and truly shows the love and kindness that Lucas clearly has in his heart.  You are a shining example to us all Lucas!

A big thank you to Ruth from Oregon, USA who was so kind to send a cheque for $200.  Such generosity from so far away - we really appreciate it very much.

Sue Mills works for Besley Hill Estate Agents in Chipping Sodbury, near Bristol.  She has been very busy raising money for the Fund.  She organised a raffle at the BAWA Club in Bristol and also did a sponsored swim.  In total she was able to raise £216 over these two events.  And she says there is more to come!  Thank you very much to Sue and all of her colleagues at work and the BAWA Club who supported her.  The photo on the left shows Sue with Yvette.  Click on thumbnail to enlarge.
