What do i say! It was a great night with lots of prizes, unfortunatly i only won a pair of pink slippers! The turnout was amazing, i think there was over 170 people all in all. I didnt feel quite like the freak i thought i would, the atmosphere was buzzing and everyone enjoying themselves. We had the Disco Diva's who were fab, my uncle Brian did some singing and was excellent, a tombola which was run by my Aunty Val and Uncle John, stand up bingo, the raffle which went on for quite a while because of all the brilliant prizes that were donated and the disco! Plenty of old faces i hadnt seen for a long time along with the regulars.
So much work must have been put in to this all for little me, how do you thank so many people for what they have done and doing? I cannot thank them enough, im not sure if any of my family/friends know about or read this blog, if you do, Thank you all so so much, i love you all.
The highlight for me was at the end when they played You'll Never Walk Alone, at bit ironic those words because soon i wont because my legs are going lol, but thats not what the songs about, those who know football will know its my beloved Liverpool FC anthem, basically through thick and thin we will stick together. So it came on and everyone started to get up and link hands in the air, swaying and singing, even the bloody Man United fans got up which i know must have been hard. As the end of the song neared the DJ turned to me and said "Chris, you will never walk alone" How i managed to not become a blubbering wreck i dont know, a lump in my throat the size of apple! it certainly brought a few tears around the room, its something that will always stick with me and the song will be with me at the end.
What everyone is doing for me/us amaze's me, i guess i am very lucky to have this support around me, some PALS have very little or nobody which must be so difficult and i really feel for them. If anyone reads this who does feel alone or just needs someone to chat to dont hesitate to contact me, I may not have all the knowledge of MND but just to talk rubbish im ya man!
I think so far they have raised over £3000, with a percentage going to the MNDA. The fundraising has continued today with a minibus full of them going to Doncaster for the Challenge Cup semi final with Castleford and Leeds, i wish them all the best and again thank you xx
A couple of pictures have been added, not too many though because some my not want their pic broadcast.
Check the photo's page.
My arms aching now lol so off for a rest, i do have a bit more to add about other things so should be back later.
