Wow - crashed through the £2,000 barrier raised this evening - and thanks so much for everyone (friends, colleagues and complete strangers) who have donated to three charities very close to Amanda's heart. Don't forget, you can donate to Douglas Macmillan Hospice, The Migraine Trust and Meningitis Now here: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/amandamcdonald
Even if you're not attending our special event this coming Sunday, you are very welcome to forward a brief story, a memory of a time you’ve spent with Amanda or any photographs through to David Patrick david.patrick@yesagency.co.uk.
Right, remember last night's post where i mentioned about Amanda's battles with migraines and that the only time she's been without migraines in her adult life was cruelly through chemotherapy and whilst on steroids most recently? (Remind yourself here: https://goo.gl/NHIUfx ), well, Amanda has been gradually reducing the steroids to reduce the swelling on her brain to the point that yesterday was her first day off steroids for a few weeks. Well, guess what? She had a migraine yesterday afternoon. And today too. It was so bad today that she was very sick earlier too - it's been her worst day for a few weeks. She's fine, just resting now, and focussing on being well enough for this coming Sunday, but it's a harsh reminder that nothing can ever be taken for granted right now.
