My name is Luke and I am a 12 year old boy from Silsden, I am planning a coffee morning at St James Church Hall on 21st February from 10am-12pm with 2 friends for a little 2 year old girl called Ruby who has neuroblastoma cancer, a fatal childhood cancer.
I wondered if you could put a notice up on silsden.net about it as we are trying to get as many people to come as possible and I would highly appreciate it if you could

Anybody fancy doing a short walk Saturday to help Luke with his fundraising, i,ll donate £ 100 if i can get a group of people to walk with me, starting at st James, it will be a road walk ( no mud ) that is up Howden road, Hawber lane, Swartha lane, Brown bank lane, Bolton road & finish at st James church hall for coffee. I thought starting at 10, should take about an hour. Hope to see you there. |

Now that's a great coffee morning, the home made cakes are gorgeous, and I hope that the three amigos who organised this event raise plenty of money, I think they might have had a bit/lot of help from their family, especially the Mam's |

Planned to be there today to buy cakes etc but still have this nasty, long lasting virus which just won't go away. (Anyone else on their 4th box of extra large tissues and 3rd bottle of Buttercup Syrup?) Want to donate cake money though. Peter, can you help? |

Thank you so much to ALL of you for your amazing support on Saturday! We were stunned and delighted by the kindness and generosity from the members of Silsden.net, Silsden taxis and all the local Silsden residents who came to support this cause. So far we have the unbelievable amount of £1255 and we are still getting donations from people who were unable to come to the coffee morning. If anyone would like anymore information about little Ruby and her illness please let me know (also any other fundraising ideas are most welcome!) otherwise you can follow her on face book or twitter "Help Ruby Laura Smash Cancer".
