The Krissie Willis Stem Cell Appeal Thank You
Very many thanks to all the individuals, groups and clubs who sent in a donation or organised an event to raise money for this Appeal.
I was astounded at the generosity of people, many of whom didn’t have much themselves, and of the tenacity of organisers of events to raise some money.
The Appeal grossed £1721.70, the accounts have now been audited and signed off and the account closed as of today, 27th June 2007.
We were happy to hand over £1600.00 (made payable to the Stem Cell Treatment Fund) to Krissie earlier in the year but kept the account open with a small amount as we had been promised a donation from someone’s wedding!!
Krissie was overwhelmed by the generosity of MAG people and wants me to say a big thank you from her.
So far as the treatment itself is concerned, Krissie’s speech improved significantly and when I recently visited her in hospital she was able to pick up a cup and drink from it.
Something she wasn’t previously able to do.
Very many thanks for the support of everyone concerned

[This was originally penned in June 2007 but may have somehow got lost in Mr Mutch’s bulging ‘in-box’.
As at February 2008 I can report that Krissie’s speech remains as it was in June last year and I can detect no regression on the post stem cell improvement.
Thanks, Guys, once again, for your generosity for a much loved and long time MAG member]
