How i sometimes feel about fundraising
A few weeks ago we did Ackworth gala and had a Tombola stall to raise money for CF. I was upset before we went as i am most times i do anything because i know that Rebecca will never benefit from a cure, that sounds a bit selfish i suppose but i said i would be honest in my feelings.
As always someone came to us and said they had someone in the family with CF and that knowledge makes it easier, because i hope my loss will hopefully help other CF sufferers and their families. At previous Tombola sales we've had at least 3 people come to us that have lost children/young adults and then last Sunday we did a car boot sale at York and this time i spoke to two people who had friends that had lost sons to CF in recent years, one was 22, i'm not sure what age the other lad was. All these parents would be feeling as hollow and empty as i do and i know that is why i do what i do and that if a cure is found in my lifetime, Rebecca's death won't have been in vain. Becci's find a cure fund will keep her memory alive and that will help keep me going for a few years.
I've updated my blog and included quite a few photos. From now on any additions i make will be in a different colour so it will be obvious what i've updated.
The pages are quite long and i haven't finished the living with Cf page and i may add to Rebecca's page in the future. I hope you don't get bored reading my pages and you get an insight into my lovely kid and the bastard illness that took her away from her family much too soon.
Tara for now x
