comment : 0

WOW!!! I really don’t know where to start with this post, our ‘Dance for Charlie Championships’ was outstanding, we did it Helen! Another amazing day in aid of The Charlie & Carter Foundation, all of those dancers, dancing for our two angels ‘Charlie & Carter’ raising the awareness of the importance of organ donation in babies and children along with the difficulties parents face when caring for a sick child 24/7 who is suffering a life limiting condition.

Thank you so much to all who supported our event, Adjudicators, Scrutineers, Teachers, Parents, Dancers, all of those who donated and sponsored!….you all helped raise an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING £11,000.00!!! Smashing last years figure raised…all in the name of ‘Our Cookson Brothers’ We are so proud of our boys xxx
