Hi Everyone,

Its still mad around here!
But its going great.

There is a few people l would like to thank firstly.

Oli - one of Marks and Spencers Managers - he is soooo helpful its fantastic. He has donated a prize for us, is planning on giving us another one when hes decided what. He is supplying us with the stock cages (as many as we want) to hold the inflated balloons in until release.
He has organised for a collection Goblet to be put in the staff room as they currently have 150 staff and 300 contractors on sight. He is also going to have a huge pile of Draw tickets off us to sell to his staff. We done Oli your an honary Star!!

Also a huge THANKS to First Choice, for agreeing to come up with a 1st prize for us. This is currently still being arranged so watch this space on that one!

To Tescos for giving us some £20 towards start up provisions, we hope to use it to get a first aid kit sorted.

To Cellargas for offering to supply, deliver and fetch the biggest helium tanks available at rock bottom prices.

Also to all the shops who have donated some fantastic prizes it will be well worth buying a ticket when they become available at the end of the month.

Thanks to the shops and business who are planning to wear pink and dress their window displays in pink to draw attention to our event. The 60+ shops who have volunteered to have collection goblets and the many offereing to sell tickets.
The response is overwhelming this event has really caught hold of peoples imagination.

It probably does help that we are going to have two 6ft men dressed as neon pink fairies, young girl punk fairies, a young lad as a pink clint eastwood style cowboy and many other group members male and femail dressed in as much PINK as possible!!!

Our aim - to have fun, while raising as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK.

All we need now is a celebrity willing to donate their time to come and release the 1,000 balloons from High Town for us. Any suggestions and contact details for them would be extremely grateful. you can email me the details atsarahcuddles@btinternet.com

Your assistance on this one would be extremely welcome.

See you soon
Sarah aka the Mad PINK Fairy
