Bistro Live, Milton Keynes were very honoured to recently host a “Fundraising Evening” for Claire and Jamie for their young son, Ashley who has an extremely rare type of cancer called Neuroblastoma. I am pleased to say that at present Ashley is in remission but unfortunately this type of cancer is highly likely to return within 3-5 years, however there is some good news for Ashley as there is a treatment he can receive in America but Clair and Jamie need to raise £25,000 to get Ashley there.
Clair called Bistro Live after reading about our Fundraising Initiative as she thought this would be a great way to raise some money for Ashley by giving all her friends and family a good fun night out whilst still raising money for Ashley.
60 of their friends and family joined them at Bistro Live on Sunday 28th June for a fun filled evening, the theme; chosen by Ashley was “Hero’s and Villains”. After a wonderful 3 course meal we played fun games, had a quiz based on Hero’s and Villains and a massive raffle, where lots of the prizes were donated by local retailers, we then finished the evening with a Disco.
Bistro Live staff worked hard during the evening selling the raffle tickets and getting everyone to join in the quiz and games by asking for donations and along with a proportion of the ticket price from Bistro Live we managed to raise £412.00 to go to Ashley.
Due to the great success on the evening Clair approached me after and said “what a great night and wanted to arrange another one later in the year – where she would make sure everyone knew what a Brill Night it was” . I am confident that Bistro Live will be giving her an even larger donation after this event.
Since the evening the staff at Bistro Live has requested that we put a sign up about Ashley with a donation container for anyone to put money in as they really want to see him get the treatment he deserves. If you would like to make any direct donation to Ashley please log onto his website www.ashleyhydeappeal.org.uk or contact me at Bistro Live on 0845 3311500
