Dexter's Wish

In order to raise funds for the charity, I (Chris – Dexter’s Dad) will be taking part in a bike ride along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.  I‘ll be doing the ride with a number of colleagues from work, and would really appreciate any support you can give. The ride is over 2 days. Starting on 2nd July, the first day will be 80 miles, with the remaining 47 miles on the second day. As I type this, it’s making me realise I really need to train more…..

There are a number of ways you can donate or support me:
- Via the Website – http://www.dexterswish.co.uk/ using PayPal Donate (please add a note to your donation to say that it’s for the bike ride).
- If you’re likely to bump into me (providing you’re not a stalker), then you can sign a sponsor form, or just send me your name, address, post code (use the “contact us” page) and amount you’d like to donate and I’ll add you to my sponsorship form.

If you’re unable to donate, there are still lots of ways you can support us:
- Go to the Dexter’s Wish Facebook page and “Like” it – post it to your profile so that we can spread the word and keep people informed of future charity events (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dexters-Wish/183057068383656)
- Organise your own event – please contact us via the Website or Facebook page if you’d like to do this.
- Pass this on to people who may like to sponsor but aren’t on Facebook and spread the word.

Thank You all so much in advance

Dexter’s Wish Co-founder Kristianne Robinson recently met the lovely Gary Barlow who has kindly offered to donate some signed Take That merchandise to help raise money for the charity.

This is incredibly exciting news and we will do our best to keep you posted on what the merchandise is and how we are going to use it to raise money for the charity.

The Sun newspaper got wind of the story and we even got a mention!!

Our fabulous friends Laurie and Chris Powell (Laurie is one of Arlo’s Godparents) recently ran a Half Marathon for Dexter’s Wish. Some dear friends of theirs had cause to be at St Mary’s Special Care Unit and were wanting to help raise funds for the unit after a stay there with their daughter.

This is an excellent effort by the recently married Mr & Mrs Powell and through the generosity of their family and friends, they have raised a huge £500!!!

Thanks SO much and well done!!!

The Family Robinson have decided to buckle down for 6 weeks and take on the Biggest Loser 6 week challenge as a sponsored slim for Dexter’s Wish.

We had our first weigh in today and we have both had a great start to the programme.

If you’d like to sponsor us in any way for any amount of money, you can do it via the website or email or message through our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=180746231969706&index=1

The programme suggests that we should aim to lose approximately 12 lbs each….so here we go!!
