On Saturday February 5th Ellie's Fund are doing a balloon release in honour and memory of Ellie. As the first anniversary of her death approaches all too quickly, it is our way of honouring everything that Ellie was - all that she achieved - and all that is going on now to help other children in the same unfortunate position as Ellie.

We would like you to sponsor a balloon in memory of Ellie, but dedicated to whoever you would like it to be.

We will release it for you, or you are welcome to join us and do it yourself. We will be at the lifeboat house on Scarborough's south side at about 1pm, ready to release the balloons at 1-20pm.

BALLOONS NEED TO BE BOUGHT IN ADVANCE (BY NEXT THURSDAY PLEASE) and can be bought online through this link www.elliesfund.com/shop.php - leave your dedication as you make your donation (£5) - or message me to do it another way. (Heather Othick)
