When Nigel and I
began this appeal we didn't think it would grow so quickly, or that we
would be organising such events as Golf Days and Summer Ball. Many
of our friends held coffee mornings, jumble sales, yard sales, craft
sales. They hosted barbeques, skittles nights and other events or
took part in marathons, bikethons and so on. Funds raised at these
events ranged from £45 to £450 and every last bit helps our cause.
If you already have an idea to raise funds and are able to organise it
we would be most grateful. If you would like some helpful tips and
guidance please email us fundraising@alistairsappeal.org
or write to us

Alistair is our son.
He was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma, average risk in May 1999.
Alistair was just 5 when he was diagnosed and was a typical little boy.
He was mischievous, active, phlegmatic and thoughtful. He loved to
teach his little sister, Lauren, all the things he had learned at school
and the two were close companions. He loved water and would dive
into water of any depth despite not being able to swim. He
was developing into a bit of a joker and enjoyed being part of a crowd.
He died, unexpectedly, in May 2000. As parents we felt we
wanted to help find out why children, like Alistair - who have a
reasonable prognosis, don't do well. We set up Alistair's
Appeal after his death to raise funds for paediatric brain tumour
research. The full story of what happened to Alistair can be
accessed from the main page - click on "Don't Worry"

Alistair's Appeal has
been established by his parents Nigel and Debi and is managed by them
voluntarily. There is a committee of friends and colleagues who
give their time to help organise the summer ball and many other friends
and neighbours who have held events to raise funds on behalf of the
appeal. All time is given willingly and voluntarily and there are
no hidden costs. You may be assured then that all your donation
goes to paediatric brain tumour research and that no funds are set aside
for any other purpose.
