I had a great time at The Pink Ribbon Ball at the Dorchester Hotel on 8th October. Such a wonderful event in support of Breast Cancer Campaign on whose behalf we have been collecting and recycling textiles for the past few years and donating to the cause.
We met so many interesting people and a huge amount was raised especially from the auction charmingly staged by Jeffrey Archer. Of course the real reason we were all there was for those affected by the disease, some of them survivors others still fighting their battle. It was emotional and yet empowering to hear their personal accounts and gave so much meaning to why the money was being raised and how it was helping.
We are planning our own fundraising event with a Pink Day later in the month as a further contribution and hope that everyone will be logging on to our site during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to recycle a bag of clothing so we can donate even more to this worthy cause.
