raising awareness about hughes in the south west

[kathyD64]

Hoping to start up a south west based help group with others on this forum soon i have made the first step in organising a charity event at xmas where proceeds will go towards the charity. My daughter, Rachel is a singer and performer and to date have produced and written her own plays with fellow friends all in the entertainment business.

The plan is to put on a show for the xmas period for all ages (they had a massive sucess last year with a fund raising event which was very well supported).

currently rachel is putting on a play she has written and is producing on the 16th june at winterbourne community centre, after which she will be concentrating on the xmas production to help raise awareness and funds for the hughes charity. I will post more info closer to the time but the work has already begun for ideas of the show - watch this space -

Hi hun, sounds like a very talented daughter you have there

Good idea in starting the group in your area, the more of us that do it....the better & easier it will be for all of us. More importantly is that the public will start to recognise Hughes as a disease to look out for at last.

Great idea too....I'm planning on something similar next year as my hubby is in a few bands so I am hoping to join a few charities together (to make people recognize at least one of them) & do a charity gig in my area....we ar always doing them for : cancer, heart & childrens charities.....so I'm working on that now!!

We should get them all together!!!

Great you are doing this, if you need any advice or help inbox me & I'll give you my no. & we can chat more, good luck & well done xx
