LESLEY aka SAND DANCER 💃🏻 UPDATE....

[pontygirl]

Hi Folks,

My fellow MPN Sisters and Brothers as we are all painfully aware we lost our Lovely Lesley 15th January 2020.

Lesley and I were very close in Heart and Spirit. Her loss to me was and is Huge, but Nothing compared to her Loved Ones...

She was a Very Special Lady and I personally will Remember Her Always with Love and Respect..

I have remained in contact with her Family throughout, and we now have an Opportunity to Remember Lesley in a Positive Way 💃🏻❤️💃🏻

Lesley's son Daniel has set up a Just Giving Page in Lesley's Memory...

As you will see Funds Raised will go to MPN VOICE to help fund Vital Research into this illness that Blights our Lives...

We here all depend on Support when Needed, we ask the Forum and we Recieve the Help and Encouragement to Overcome Whatever..

There was nobody better at helping others than Lesley.

She gave freely to all that needed her time and support, a gentle word, a smile.

She was also a Buddy, something she never discussed. However I do know from our lovely Maz, Lesley was a wonderful Buddy to those that needed that extra help and will be missed...

Maz was consulted by Daniel with regards to this Fundraiser and we both learnt just how much MPN Voice supports Research..

I'm very sure we miss Lesley's little pictures and her many thoughts of the day.

Here is Our Opportunity to Do Something Nice and Fitting for Lesley...

And at the Same Time help Fund Research into MPN's in Lesley's Memory.

Let us give back just a little something to MPN Voice, whom we turn to, as and when needed.

Raise much needed cash to aid the Research which is vital to find a Cure besides SCT, for the unfortunate younger members amongst us, and for those that come behind us to benefit from that Research.

And what better way, than to Donate in Memory of Our Sister, Lesley..

Lesley would approve of this , of that I am sure. Lesley always gave her best to us, let us do this for Lesley..

Below is the address / link as given to me by her son Dan...

justgiving.com/fundraising/...

I have donated already, however I believe you can type in the amount you wish to give as opposed to ticking pre set boxed amounts, if preferred..

This is Our Opportunity to Give Something Back...

Let us show her Beloved Family, the Wealth of Care and Support clearly demonstrated here by those amongst us that posted their Condolences and shared many wonderful thoughts of Our Beautiful Sand Dancer 💃🏻 💃🏻 ...

Wife, Mother, Grandma, Sister and Our Forever Friend Lesley..

I wish you all a Peaceful, Happy Sunday wherever you may be.

Thank you for taking the time to read this..

Maria 😊

Was just thinking about her,at the moment she is seldom far from my mind.

I didn't realise how difficult your life is Maria,I tend not to look often at the site.Like many of us I only have a few good hours in a day ,so try not to use my pad as much as I did.

I want to send you and your husband very best future health,my hubby is my carer,I would be lost without him,so I understand the worry you have ,both for him and your own illness.,I too am On the cusp of M F.

Will look at the giving site Lesley's son has started,how dreadful losing such a lovely lady is for them.

I had just finished Peters last book,I am a northerner so interested still in anything 'up there'. Take Good Care Both. Sally

[pontygirl in reply to Inca]

Thanks Sally you must have read an old post of mine..

Today I simply put the details of the Fundraiser for Lesley.

Yes I have read Peter's last book, very good.

I'm sorry life is difficult for you, MF can be a pain in the rear at times...

My husband is slowly recovering, re Heart Bypass..

Life throws curved balls at us, we can only do our best..

Have a nice evening both, take care of yourselves.

All the Best to You

Maria😊

Hi Maria

Thanks for your post. Could you possibly re-post a live Just Giving link (should go blue so everyone can just click on it).

I’ve tried to access the page every which way and just can’t. There are lots of Daniel Taylors out there but none raising for MPN Voice. Maybe others have had more success. Thank you.

[mhos61 in reply to Ebot]

No, I can’t access it either Ebot!

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to mhos61]

I have edited the link in Maria's post. Maz

[stillkicking]

Hi Maria,

Lovely idea!

The link you gave to the justgiving site is missing one vital part (the word fundraising), the correct link is as follows

justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Hope this works for everyone.

[Ebot in reply to stillkicking]

Ah ha! Peter, you’re a genius. Thanks.

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to stillkicking]

Thank you Peter for putting the link, I have also edited Maria's post with the correct link, I know she won't mind me doing that. All the best, Maz

[pontygirl in reply to stillkicking]

Hi Peter & Laura,

Thanks Peter for solving the issue, 👍 I have posted an apology in general to All..

I will write properly very soon, hope you are all well and the Veg Plot is producing..

As Always

I simply posted what Daniel had created in Memory of his Mum.

I am so very pleased that our forum is responding to such a worthy cause...
