Donations
The easiest
way to donate is via the Charity Giving web site, Click on the
picture to the left to take you straight to their donations
page.
Charity
Giving is a charity donations web site that ensures any monies
you donate all go to their respective recipients. Indeed, if
you are a UK tax payer, make sure you check the Gift Aid box
on donating and Charity Giving will add the tax relief to the
donation, so a donation of just £10 is worth £12.42
to Keeping Abreast.

The
Charity
The
main aim of Fat Bloke On A Moped is of course to raise
funds and awareness. With my wife Claire's situation,
after her double mastectomy and because she needed no
further treatment of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, she
was entitled to have reconstruction at the same time of
the operation as her mastectomy.
To help women come to terms with their ordeal a charity
called Keeping Abreast (www.keepingabreast.org.uk
registered charity no.1129522) was formed in 2007 by patients
Anna Beckingham and Beverly Birritteri and Breast Reconstruction
nurse specialist Ruth Harcourt. The aim of the charity
is to help patients both newly diagnosed with breast cancer
facing the possibility of mastectomy and also women who
were considering reconstructive surgery to be able to
meet and talk to other women who have been through similar
experiences.
They currently have a group based at the Norfolk &
Norwich Hospital in Norwich and a more recent group at
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn. Their aim eventually
is to expand the charity to have groups all over the country.
It's my aim to help them as much as possible achieve this
goal.
Needless to say, visit the Keeping Abreast web site by
clicking on their logo above for the full information
on this fabulous charity.

I stress that all monies raised will be going to Keeping
Abreast. The teams equipment is being financed by their
own pockets. |

Break
Down of Funds Raised for Project Norfolk
The
following table is a brief break down of the funds raised
from the little trip around Norfolk. The Online Donations
are all via the Charity Giving web site (see side panel
to the left) and all money donated via that method has
Gift Aid tax reclaimed, hence the total on the line below.
Cash donations are as a result of the all the little fund
raising events attended over the course of the project
including the street collections, quiz, sponsorship, guess
the mileage of the trip, etc. Cheque donations are listed
seperately for no other reason that it helped me keep
track of things.

it will still show the funds raised from last years Project
