Only £1 - PLEASE!!!, by Ged on Aug 9, 2008 16:52:41 GMT 1, Right, basically, a friend of the family is trying to raise as much money as possibly to be able to send their son to Florida for a much needed holiday. He was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in March and after a major operation to remove his affected kidney in April he then received a course of chemotherapy which, fingers crossed, seems to be helping.
You can read more here:
www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2008/08/08/van-drag-to-fund-ill-son-s-dream-84229-21487687/
I've already sponsored them but would like to help raise a bit more. So, until the end of September, all money made from the sale of my sticker sets will be donated to the cause.
You can buy them here:
www.paperwindows.co.uk/page6.htm
Oh, and you can buy more than one set
But, even buying one sticker set at £1 will help get Corey to Florida.
No doubt I'll get shot down by some forum members for one reason or another but to be honest, I don't really care. Raising even the smallest amount of money for this brave young lad is more important than the view of some of those that grace this forum.
Also, there may be some hesitation to helping after the recent "Morrissey1" incident, but I can assure you this is 100% bona fide.

Van drag to fund ill son’s dream
Aug 8 2008 by Naomi Corrigan, Evening Gazette
Corey Duncan joins volunteers who aim to pull the van for five miles to help fund his holiday Corey Duncan with mum Annette
KINDHEARTED fundraisers are pulling together to help a brave young cancer sufferer.
Between 25 and 30 men are set to drag a van five miles around Thornaby this Sunday, collecting money for local youngster Corey Duncan.
The 13-year-old suffers from renal cell carcinoma, a form of kidney cancer which usually affects only adults.
Members of Mandale Pub football team, Dave Poole and Ian Murray, organised the event. They hope residents will come out to show their support on the route and donate to the fund which will help pay for Corey to go on a dream holiday to Florida.
Corey’s parents Annette and Craig were crushed when their son was diagnosed with the condition in March this year.
“It was a major blow,” said his mum Annette, 39. “He had been feeling tired and wasn’t eating properly then he developed a lump on his neck.
“A CT scan showed a very large tumour and the cancer had already spread to his lymph glands.”
Corey, a pupil at St Patrick’s School in Thornaby, underwent a major operation to remove his affected kidney in April and he then received a course of chemotherapy.
“He didn’t like it but he gritted his teeth,” said mum Annette.
“He’s been fantastic, coped much better than me and his dad. He has been down at times and he’s still sick every day but the new tablets seem to be helping and he’s got more energy and is more like himself.”
Corey has two sisters, Reanne, 17, and Ainsley, 12.
“They’ve been really good trying to keep him busy,” said Annette, who works at Tetley’s as a production operator.
“Everyone’s been really good. Family friends and work colleagues have been raising money and showing their support and we would like to thank them all.”
The van pull is being launched at 10am at the Oddfellows pub in Mandale, Thornaby. It will travel along Millbank Lane, Mitchell Avenue, Acklam Road, Lanehouse Road and Thornaby Road.
Anyone who would like to help the cause can donate on the day or call Ian on 07970 072245.

Thanks for that Zippy
Not sure how much they're hoping to raise but will try and get a running total off them tomorrow. I do know that the family are really taken aback by the generosity and kind messages they have received for Corey and send they're sincere appreciation to all those that have helped so far.
So, a HUGE thank you to all who have bought stickers.

Would any budding graffiti artists like my 5 sets to turn into a piece of art that I will auction off for the Mercy Foundation Appeal. PM if you would like them and whether you could complete the piece in 3/4 weeks.
