Hamper raffle in Huddersfield
RAISED
Zara Taylor from Huddersfield organised a raffle at her aunt and uncle’s pub, The Traveller’s Rest in Brockholes, in support of her grandma Janet Mitchell, who was diagnosed with PH seven years ago. The winner went away with a luxury hamper loaded with generously donated items, and second and third prizes were donated by her grandad. Zara said: “I want to raise as much awareness and money as I can with different events because if it wasn't for the doctors and nurses at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, my Nan probably wouldn't be here today.”
10k, cake and coffee When PH patient Cliff Vaughan and his wife Pauline decided to enter the Bristol 10k, they chose to hold a coffee and cake day at their home in Wottonunder-Edge to generate money in lieu of sponsorship. Pauline made bags and cushions to sell alongside the cakes made by friends and family, and although Cliff was unable to take part in the race on the day due to injury, his wife, sister in law Helen and husband Mike completed the running event.
