We started with the donations from clubs and individuals through the club website and direct to the club, then there was collections at Keighley Rugby Union Club matches. Followed by Nathan's team heading to Headingley to Leeds Carnegie to do a collection and meet Stuart Lancaster.
This was followed by the amazing day that was Nathan coming home from Pinderfields, I know the nurses there mean a lot to Nathan and his family, and have provided lots of help and support for them.
We moved straight on the Tag Rugby day which was supported so well it took us all by surprise and reduced Mark to tears when giving his speech at the end of the day. With the support of Jason Robinson, Proskins, Grange Jaguar, Hardcore Personal Training, every referee, all the teams and also everyone of you that came through the gates to support us, we couldn't really go wrong. Thank you all and we hope to see you all in 2013, please register now :-).
This was followed by the music night and golf days organised by Ken Dyson, both of which were amazing events, and Ken has told us that the golf will be an annual event too, so please watch out for details of this.
Then it was the turn of Russell Gibson with the Batmobile, driving to Portugal in a converted Volvo estate, another amazing event for the Trust.
We then moved on to the cycle ride from Liverpool to Leeds, which had thrills and spills along the way. Along with lots of rain and sore bums (Ronnie). But everyone did amazing to complete the ride in 2 days in such challenging conditions.
Then it was on to the Best Bib & Tucker Ball with the great Rhythm Junkies, we had a super raffle and auction prize of Top Gear tickets, this helped raise lots of money. Followed by great music and good food we also were lucky enough to have Jason Robinson with us again and we had another great night. Next years is booked and we want this to be bigger and better for 2013 so please watch out for booking information.
To end the year we have received news that our planning permission for the extension has been passed, this means that once the building has been completed Nathan will have his own living room, bedroom and wetroom. It took us a year to get him a shower chair and a shower at his grans, so if the extension takes 6 to 9 months to build at least he's going to be able to have his own space and be out of the dinning room. If your a trades man and want to help us do our own DIY SOS as they turned us down, then get in touch and i'm sure Matt will be glad of any help.
Looking forward to 2013
We have also have Nathan's 18th birthday party to plan and enjoy, this will be a none trust event, just a party to let our hair down and enjoy.
Once again thank you for your support and help in 2012 each and everyone of you, every little bit means so much.
