Yesterday (11th) would have been Maddies 13th birthday. Knowing her as I do she would have had a fantastic party with all her friends and prob talked me into getting a limo for her. LOL
As usual we met up with family and friends for a meal in celebration of her. Thank you to all who came especially in the weather conditions we are seeing at the moment.
A big thanks to Maddies Godmother Aunty Squidge (who as you prob know makes cards to sell and donates money made to the trust) she presented the trust with £300 the money made since Maddies birthday last year.
Love to all

James Passing
I am so shocked at the news that James has been killed. Can't quite believe it. He was an inspirational guy who motivated every one he came into contact with.
Whilst I was in Kenya he was a great support to me, he tried to help me come to terms with Maddie's death. His nephew had lost his Mum to a brain tumour so we had common ground.
Whilst I was in Kenya I lived with his sister who was my host, I met this nephew ( who is only 10) I also met James wife and baby daughter.
James family have had so much to cope with, his Dad died then the next year his Mum died then the following year his sister the next year on he has been killed. How does a family cope with that? They just don't have any choice as life is so tough, with lack money and food.
I cannot beleive I will not see him when I go out again next year.
James called me last week I missed his call I was slack and had not got round to returning his call. I will always regret that. Again I learn the invaluable lesson not to put any thing off as we just do not know what is around the corner. Regret is so un-necessary !!!
So if any of you are putting off any thing you need to do please DO IT!!!

Halloween Ball
Hi All
It does not seem 5 mins since we were getting the room ready at Notts County for the trust Ball.
It was a fantastic night attending by 106 people, thank you to all of you who came, I hope you had a fab time.
Everyone at Notts county were so helpful, they could not do enough for us. Even Peter Trembling (hope I have spelt his surname correctly) came to look at the room and took time out to speak to Matt and I.
We were thrilled when people at the club came to have a look at the room as word had got out that it looked good, other people words not mine.
Matt has yet to do a final count up of money raised as it is still trickling in, at the moment it stands at £4,100.
Thank you to any one who put money in to the Trust , also a thank you to anyone who helped in any way, it is greatly appreaciated.
Lots of love to you all,
Take care of your selves and each other.

Remembering Maddie
Hi All
Today is the 2nd Anniversary (can't think of another word to use) of the day Maddie went away.
Her Dad and I have just released 12 balloons (to symbolise her age) all with little messages to her .
Maddie fly high, laugh loud my love.

Exciting news
Hi
How exciting we are getting the Halloween Ball well and truly on the road. Well my long suffering son is doing most of it!!!
The trust has booked Notts County for the 2nd ball, which will be held on Halloween itself (one of Maddie's favourite times of the year). Hopefully we will have Troy who did the Disco last year for our 1st Ball.
We just need to do some costings before we can release the price. Keep the date free though !!!! On the trust site you can subscribe for details on the Ball. How fab is that!!! (Ken you are a marvel)
This week the Sleaford Target (3rd June) ran a story on the fact we had set up a trust in Maddie's memory. If you missed it you can find in on their website.
Matt, Ken and I went onto Radio Nottingham morning show, hosted by Frances Finn,on Monday to talk about how positive things can be even when the worst happens. We talked about the trust and the opening of Maddison House in Kenya.
Great to know that Maddison House has 27 children homed there. Yes 27 !!!! Well done to the Fadhili group,this is the Group that places volunteers into Orphanages in Kenya,the team are so dedicated.
Friday (5th June) is our next committee meeting, Maddies Godmother Debs will be there although she has just flown back from Austrailia on Thursday (4th June). It will be an exciting meeting as we have so many plans for the Ball.
Matt and I will do some car boots to raise seom money for the trust, so any donations are welcome.
If anyone has any ideas for us, please don't be shy, contact us!!
Lots of love
Jane
