Fundraising Stars

Joe Kelly - April 2013

Enlarge

Joe was unfortunately unable to attend the respite break this year, but I am pleased to announce that he has been awarded a Gold Star for his fundraising efforts over the years.

Joe has been contributing to the charity since 2005 with monthly donations, general donations, collection tubs and donated items. He was awarded the Gold Star with a certificate for raising £1,239.34 up to the end of 2012, and the donations still continue to come in.

We really appreciate all that Joe has done over the years and I wanted to share this with all our members and their families. Thank you Joe for your continued efforts.

They have also made a video specifically featuring a Gulf 2 Veteran, and including Maria Rusling - http://youtu.be/ueZ8Bx7iyzQ
