A look back at 2012 - I wonder how things went on Saturday...[/caption]By the time you read this, plenty of participants from Rowan House will have taken part in Saturday's Swindon in Drag event for 2013.
Just like last year, Jennifer Taylor is the organiser and sent us the above picture from last year as a trailer for this year's event. Sadly there wasn't time to bring you the news ahead of Saturday, but I'm sure Jennifer won't mind if I use her words to describe what was in store...
The time of year has come around again where me and my friends make fools of ourselves, dress up in clothing of the opposite gender, and attempt to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK :)
We’ve had some brilliant years previously but we’ve never managed to break the £1000 mark and we’re super determined to get there this year!! Any donation you can make via our Just Giving page will be hugely appreciated by myself and my friends.
I also found out recently that someone from my past that had a huge influence on me as a teenager has recently died of cancer, so I’ll be dedicating my efforts to Stuart Holland, the man who gave me my first job at WHSmiths in Marlborough when I was 16! He even left me in charge of the store on Sundays when I was 17… brave man!
Thanks for your support!
I hope it went well Jennifer and you all had a fun evening raising pots of cash!
It was absolutely amazing! Despite a quiet night in town people were so very generous, and I can't wait to find out the final total :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat news Jen, hopefully your cakes today will help to swell the coffers :)
