Anton’s message is ballroom dream for Irene

A

Trinity Hospice patient got an extra special surprise as staff arranged a personal message from ballroom dance sensation Anton du Beke.

Irene Cooney told staff at the hospice’s Day Therapy Unit that she was a huge fan of Anton, and just loved ballroom dancing. So they quickly got to work to see if they could arrange for something special from him.

Irene, 91, said she was a really keen ballroom dancer when she was young, and her mother always knew she’d find her in the ballroom – it was her second home. She told staff at the hospice she thought Anton was a ‘gentleman dancer’ and had always liked him. The staff got in touch with Anton’s agent at 'IWILLKNOWSOMEONE', they organised for the dance megastar to record a video message just for Irene, and sent it across to the hospice.

Irene, who lives in South Shore, Blackpool, was shown the video when she returned to the Day Therapy Unit after the Christmas break.

She said 'When I first saw the message I just could not believe it was him. I had to watch it again! The staff said they had a nice message for me, but I never thought it would be something like this. How lovely of Anton to do it and how kind of everyone at Trinity – I really have never experienced such kindness until coming here. It has made such a difference to me.'

The Day Therapy Unit offers people who have a noncurative illness or condition a free 16-week course to access information on symptom control, benefits and counselling, as well as relaxation, physiotherapy and complimentary therapies. Patients are encouraged to make a ‘bucket list’ of things they would like to achieve while they are still able to. As part of her bucket list discussions Irene mentioned to staff about her love of ballroom dance, and, in particular, Anton.

Staff Nurse Vicky Rashid said 'When we saw how Irene’s eyes lit up as she talked about ballroom dancing and Anton du Beke we knew we would have to try and get something special for her. We spoke to our colleagues in the communication team, and they 8

managed to get a video message sent over. It was absolutely amazing, and so kind of him to do it for her.

It was just lovely to see Irene’s face as she watched the message – we watched it a few times and she was over the moon with it. We’re so grateful to Anton and his team for taking the time to do this for her.”

Ian Pinder celebrating 20 years in private practice 10% Discount

H

aving graduated from Salford University in 1986, Ian moved to Blackpool to start his career in the NHS. He worked at most of the local NHS clinics across the Fylde and at Victoria, South Shore and Devonshire Road Hospitals.

During this time Ian developed his special interest in biomechanics and gait analysis.

After 10 years Ian ventured into private practice doing home visits in evenings after his NHS work. In 1999 he was offered the opportunity to start a private podiatry clinic in rooms at Queensway Medical Centre. As Ian’s client base increased, he reduced his NHS hours, eventually leaving the NHS completely in 2004 to go into full-time private practice.

To celebrate the 20 years since starting that first private clinic, Ian is offering a 10% discount on all clinic appointments at both centres throughout January. This is for both new and existing clients but excludes the cost of any insoles or orthoses.

LINK-Mag Entertainment by Ann Montini

ussell Watson, has sold millions of records worldwide, and performed for some of the world’s greatest figures, including The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince, and the late Pope John Paul II. with ten studio albums under his belt, his success has been phenomenal. Now he is back this time with good friend Aled Jones and a new album titled ‘In Harmony’ Tell me more about your new album RW: Aled approached me to collaborate for his next big project and that was it, I was hooked, we have been mates for years, but our voices do blend well together, and we have a wonderful collection of classics, and new stuff too.

Talent shows, are you a fan of them?

Yes, and it’s how we find the next big thing, which inevitably we do at the end of the series. There are very few mediums on television where you can go and perform and be seen, so you do have to learn your craft

Who do you admire singing wise?

Like so many, I admire the greats really, Sinatra, Ella, and of course Pavarotti. But I also think you should create your own sound and look, it’s good to admire, but of course you need to be original yourself You and Aled are also going on tour this year We are, from Blackpool Opera House to the London Palladium, which is wonderful. I do enjoy touring to be honest, but It will be a lot more fun now with the two of us together for sure

I hear Strictly Come Dancing would love you on the show It’s what I call an entertainment show for all the family, and yes, I would love to be on, but would I be any good? I am not that sure I would, but why not, I’d like to give it a go and see what happens.

lackpool’s bubbliest event is back for its third year as Bubble Rush returns to Lawsons Showground in April, raising money for Brian House Children’s Hospice.

Bubble Rush is a 5km course which can be run, walked, hopped, skipped or jumped, interspersed with four coloured bubble stations, bellowing out heaps of frothy bubbles from high-powered foam cannons.

Brian House’s Events Fundraiser Kayleigh Penn said 'Bubble Rush is a really exciting familyfriendly event so we’re thrilled to be putting it on again for Brian House. There’s always such a fantastic atmosphere at this event as people get absolutely covered in bubbles – you can hear the laughter and see the smiles on their faces as they go through each bubble station, just having such a good time while helping us to raise much-needed money for the Fylde coast’s only children’s hospice.'

Good clean fun Bubble Rush returns for Brian House

are living with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.

All proceeds from Bubble Rush will go to the hospice, which needs more than £1.2m each year to stay open.

Everyone taking part is encouraged to raise sponsorship to help the event make as much money for the local children and their families who need Brian House.

Last year more than 1,500 people took part in Bubble Rush, which raised £50,000. Brian House The event is suitable for all ages and will be held on is the only children’s hospice for the Fylde coast, Saturday 6th April.

T

he Fylde Netball League announced at the start of the year that they raised £1800 as part of its charity efforts throughout 2018.

The Fylde netball league currently has over 50 teams and 350 women from the Blackpool and surrounding region playing in it, and in 2018, through various tournaments organised throughout the year, players raised a total of £1800 which has been divided equally between their three chosen charities; The Stroke Association, Parkinson’s UK and LHON Society.

Hundreds of women from across the North West entered the netball tournaments and contributed prizes to the raffle and cake sales.

Irene Rawcliffe, Chair of the Fylde Netball League, said 'The league has been running for 60 years now and we’re proud to say that over the last six decades we’ve done our best to try and give back to much deserving charities. 2018 was a momentous year for us in the number of women that have joined the league and who are now participating in sport, so we’re extremely happy to end the year on a high by supporting the charities and all the amazing work that they do.'

Rebecca Owen, Regional Fundraiser at the Stroke Association, said 'Every year we help tens of thousands of stroke survivors and their families through our range of services and free helpline, but we can only do this through the generosity of people like Fylde Netball League and all the teams who took part in the tournament. We’re incredibly grateful to them for choosing to support the Stroke Association.'

Sarah Green, the North West Regional Fundraiser for Parkinson’s UK, said 'I would like to say thank you to Irene and everyone at Fylde Netball League for choosing to support Parkinson’s UK with your tournaments. Our work supporting people with Parkinson’s and research to find better treatments and a cure for the condition, is completely dependent on donations. To put it simply, without the support of our amazing fundraisers, the work we do just wouldn’t be possible, and we’re very grateful for this support.'

The Stroke Association is a charity in the UK that works to prevent stroke, and to support everyone touched by stroke, fund research, and campaign for the rights of stroke survivors of all ages.

They have recovering centres in Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre that provide high quality information, practical advice and emotional support following a stroke for survivors, carers and family members.

Parkinson's UK is a Parkinson's research and support charity that aims are to improve the quality of life for people affected by Parkinson's and find a cure for the condition.

The LHON Society is a patient-led support group for a rare condition called Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). The group is comprised of LHON patients, family members and medical professionals.
