Our dear Committee Member and MDS UK Essex Regional Support group coordinator Chris Dugmore is "selling" cards to raise funds to MDS UK.
Chris said to us:
I have been given these cards to sell by a friend whose wife, Lynn Tait, a successful and well-loved local businesswoman, sadly died a few years ago of myeloma, a bone marrow cancer. Her business closed and her family kindly donated the remaining stock of cards to support charities.
The cards are 16 cm (just over 6") square and printed on high quality card, with envelopes. The subjects include landscapes, floral close-ups, painted scenes of a local fishing village and garden scenes featuring small children. Some of the photographs are by Lynn herself and some by Charlie Waite, a renowned landscape photographer who worked closely with Lynn to produce these beautiful cards.
Most of the cards are blank inside so can be used as greeting cards or notecards - though a few are birthday cards. I am selling them in "pot luck" mixed packs of 10 cards for £10 plus around £1.60 for 2nd class UK postage and packing. Cards of this quality for that price are hard to find in the shops! Some examples of the 40 different cards are posted in the gallery.
Before donating, please contact me first at essexgroup@mdspatientsupport.org.uk to give me your contact details and I will send you clear instructions on how to donate.
Please use this page to make your minimum donation of £11.60 but feel free to round up the donation to benefit MDS UK!
