The Broadwalk Centre, Edgware, London, hosted 'Why Me? The Jemma-Kate Foundation' balloon race in support of The Teenage Cancer Trust on 7th June 2009.
The charity was established in memory of 18 year-old Jemma-Kate who lost her life to cancer in 2003. The day of the balloon race would have been Jemma-Kate's 24th birthday, so the charity's aim was to raise as much as possible to provide children with cancer the things that make their lives more 'normal' during this difficult period.
The charity's current project is funding a new specialist teenage cancer radiotherapy room at The University College Hospital.
Dawn and Sherly took part by volunteering their skills as face painters. It was a long day and a lot of work, but very rewarding. We are happy to have participated in this worthwhile cause.
They are pleased to announce that they successfully reached their target of £10,000 thanks to
every body's help and support.
It was a busy but gratifying day!
