Inspiring supporter events open 2014 Two excellent events took place in the first two months of the year to open the calendar of supporter-run events in 2014. In January, the latest in Peter Clifton’s series of “Poems and Prose in a Pub” events took place at the Rose and Crown in Charlbury, Oxfordshire. Those who attended heard readings from Elizabeth Wade’s unpublished novel The Last Post, Pam Nixon’s But I’ll Remember This and Nick Hooper’s The Lie of the Land. The event raised over £90 for Cecily’s Fund, and another instalment in the series is planned to take place later in the year.

Supporters take on fundraising challenges This year, Cecily’s Fund supporters are taking on exciting challenges at both new and well-established events. Two longstanding supporters have already completed big challenges, and you can still donate via online fundraising pages. Sarah Richards (pictured opposite, left) attended the same school as Cecily Eastwood - Bedales School in Hampshire - and completed the London Marathon on April 13th. Including Gift Aid, she has so far raised an amazing £2,000 for Cecily’s Fund. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SarahRichards3 Corinna Witt (pictured bottom right) is an Associate of Cecily’s Fund and a former trustee who was responsible for the charity's website until 2010. At the Berlin Airport Night Run event on April 12th, she completed a 10,000 metre run to raise money for Cecily’s Fund. http://www.justgiving.com/Corinna-Witt/ Philippa Tolmay is Cecily’s sister, a Cecily’s Fund trustee, and also secretary to the board. Philippa and her colleagues at Doughty Street Chambers will once again be running in the British 10K London Run. This year’s event takes place on July 13th. Cecily’s Fund still has a number of guaranteed charity places available for this event - if you would like to take part in the run and to raise money for Cecily’s Fund, please get in touch and we can send you an application form.
