Many of you will be aware that my late partner Gordon Mott ('Motty'), died just over 6 years ago on 13th April 2006. In January 1996 at Ipswich Hospital, Suffolk, Gordon was diagnosed with an illness called Vasculitis (a little known, stealthy and deadly disease) against which he waged a valiant and determined battle for 10 years.
On Saturday, 20th October 2012 (7.00pm for 7.30pm), I will be holding a Charity Ball ('All Aboard with Little T') to raise money for and awareness of Vasculitis UK. The ball will take place in the beautiful West Wing, Ickworth House, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Please, even if attending a ball isn't really 'your thing', see the attached two docs i.e. a poster (please share with friends, colleagues and neighbours; (singles, couples and groups all most welcome!!) and another bearing relevant further details and additional information.
I do hope that you will consider joining me at the charity Ball??!!
My very best wishes and grateful thanks,
Tracy
