£2,331 Prosecco & pizza for PH
RAISED
Kelly Holliday from Workington held a prosecco and pizza night for 70 family and friends to raise money in memory of her friend, Claire Dempster, who died in 2016. Kelly said: “We all loved Claire so much and we wanted to do something to mark her 40th birthday and raise awareness of pulmonary hypertension.” The prosecco and pizza was kindly donated by local businesses and money was raised from bingo and a raffle.
Cycling Santas Friends of Dave and Lea Acres spent a sunny winter’s morning walking, running and cycling around Chidham in West Sussex dressed in Santa outfits. They were then treated to tea, coffee, mulled wine and a great assortment of cakes and mince pies, all of which had been kindly donated. Dave and Lea raised money for the PHA UK as their son Will was diagnosed with PH in 2016.
