Raindrops keep falling on Claire’s head

 

CRY pop-up book sale June 2014

Sue Howells, Claire Prosser and Chris Pearson brave the rain.

Claire’s pop-up book sale raised a further £168 for CRY on Saturday – despite the torrential rain.

“I was surprised but really pleased by how much we raised,” said Claire. “I’m also very grateful to all those who bought books and especially to Sue and Chris for helping.”

The money adds to the £870 raised by Claire’s main book sale in May – which also had to contend with wet weather – and means that the two events have raised a grand total of £1038.

The sales take place outside Munson’s Coffee, St Mary’s Road. Ealing. All unsold books are donated to Oxfam in Ealing so nothing goes to waste.

An evening of song in aid of Tom’s Fund raised £500 at the LVS School in Ascot, Berkshire, on May 20.

The staff and parents’ choir put on a packed evening of entertainment and headmistress Christine Cunniffe said: “I was incredibly impressed by the standard of the performances from the choir and soloists.

“Many of the performers were pushed out of their comfort zones and I can only praise them for the achievements. They came together so passionately and enthusiastically to raise money for Tom’s charity. Well done to everyone involved.”

Apart from singing, Mrs Cunniffe also performed a rendition of the first movement of Mozart’s piano concerto in D Minor with piano teacher James Bryant.

CRY and Tom’s Fund was brought to the school’s attention by family friends Juliet and Clive Matthews, whose son attends LVS.

Two out of two for Indy

CRY Indy

Done it! Indy at the end of the race.

 

Indy Sahota raised more than £200 for Tom’s Fund and loads of awareness after wearing a CRY T-shirt during her first ever 10k run, the BUPA 10,000 in London on Sunday.

“It was completely exhilarating,” said Indy. “I set two goals for the day; not to stop during the run and to finish in an hour.” She achieved both aims.

“Seeing a Team CRY T-shirt halfway through spurred me on and it was great to celebrate with everybody at the CRY stand after the race. An amazing day!”

Indy, who works for the BBC, is a former colleague of Paul and Claire.
