It’s Easyfundraising for Fred…
I’m helping The Fred Foundation to raise money whenever I shop online -
could you do the same?
It’s very simple – just visit
http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/thefredfoundation/ to register and
shop with over 2000 well known retailers like Amazon, Argos, M&S, eBay and
many more. Whenever I buy something, the retailer makes a donation to The
Fred Foundation. They’ve helped other causes raise over £2,000,000 so it
really does work.
I’d be really grateful if you could use easyfundraising too. It won’t cost
you a penny extra to shop through easyfundraising and you can even save
money with special offers and voucher codes.
Plus, if you register before 1st March you’ll automatically receive one
entry into the February competition to win an Apple iPad 2!
So please make a difference to The Fred Foundation and take a look at
easyfundraising today -

What a difference one month makes – a huge shout out to the people below for helping Fred!
Last month, PHIL PRICE from P&G Planning cycled 295 miles over 3 days to Paris, had a day off then ran the Paris marathon in 4hrs 13mins raising £800 for the Fred Foundation.
DUFF BORER ran the London Marathon in a faster time than last year and at the last count had raised £5,224.00 for The Fred! His Justgiving page is still open for anyone still wishing to donate out there. So many people have said that they still want to but haven’t got around to it yet. Big thanks to all that have donated we are so grateful.
The Fred Foundation are also MEDIA VEST UK’s chosen charity and after holding a very successful ‘Royal Fredding’ charity afternoon for us the counting has been done and they’ve raised £772.67!
Thanks to Duff, Verity, Grace, Nisha, Sarah, Song, Karolina, Basil, Tom, Jo, Phil and Paul for making it all happen and to everyone who attended and donated.
Also thanks to Jude Brown (as usual) who introduced us to Robert Brooks of BROOKS ESTATE AGENTS SW16 who raised £118 for us at the Telford Ave/Killisier Ave Royal Wedding street party. The ‘throwing a wet sponge at an estate agent in the stocks’ stall was a very popular one for some reason…
Also all you local Sth London supporters, please do make sure you fill in the Nominate Your Favourite Local Charity form available from SAINSBURYS, BALHAM - get all your friends to do it too – we might win if we all get behind it!
Last plug for the Marathon madman..
Last chance to support a Marathon runner for the Fred Foundation.
As some of you already know Duff has put himself forward to run the London Marathon in aid of The Fred Foundation for the second time in consecutive years.
He is clearly mad as he said never again in 2010 – however I am reliably informed that this is truly the last time but with the aim of raising even more money.
You can donate through Just Giving at http://www.justgiving.com/Duff-Borer2011 orjust be old fashioned and send a cheque to The Fred Foundation, 20 Morella Road, SW12 8UH. If you let us know your address and tell us that you are a UK Tax payer, we can squeeze even more out of your donation by getting Gift Aid back.
Thank you very much.

The Royal Fredding….thanks so much to Starcom for this fundraiser
It’s nearly time for the Marathon Duff…
It’s Life Jim but not as we know it…
Great quote used well on Radio 4 this morning at the beginning of the Between Ourselves programme . Two men who have Asperger’s Syndrome being interviewed - very positive, very interesting .
Listen Again, it’s good.
A HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL YOU SPECIAL AND QUITE EXCEPTIONAL MOTHERS
Tom does his own Marathon for Fred
Tom Wainwright is only 9, but while his Mum and Dad were away he decided to do a sponsored row for the Fred Foundation. On his brothers rowing machine, he rowed so far -10k- that he got blisters all over his hands. He raised £170 for The Fred Foundation. It was a fantastic achievement and in it’s own way as impressive as running the marathon or swimming the Channel. Well done Tom and many thanks!

Order, order …
Always a stressed child but this week it has been far worse than usual and as he cannot tell us what is the matter it is all guess work. Very difficult and what is most painful to see is that he has developed a nervous tic or involuntary eye blinking because of the stress.
So, to try and keep things extra calm for him this weekend i found myself loading the dishwasher with clean things as someone unwittingly unloaded the clean stuff before he was able to do it. I knew he desperately wanted to unload it so whilst he was out, i hurriedly washed by hand the dirty stuff that had been put in there and replaced it with the clean stuff – then let him unload it!! ! It was very difficult to remember what had been in there and in what order!
We would normally just unload it and he would have to ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ but i just could see how stressed he was and didnt want to add to it. When i say ‘feel the fear and do it anyway.’ he is worried t hat we will put all the china etc away in the wrong order.
