You can read my signature, but if you have signatures turned off I need to tell you all this.

Our launch night was a great great success. We raised 1800 on the day/ night through the raffle and from donations. Two very extra special donations came through on the night and yesterday which pushed us to within reach of our goal for our next cycle.

This afternoon someone saw on my signature that we needed us 87 to reach our goal for this cycle and has very kindly donated it to us now.

So we have a cycle to pay for now. Thank you all for your support. You've just contributed to a life changing opportunity for someone.

No, a cycle of IVF costs us 4350. We already had money in the pot.

That's fantastic news!

As a matter of interest, do you get to find out if the cycle has been successful or once you've paid for it, does your involvement end there?

This is great news, I am happy to have supported this charity, even if it was just a very very ( :blush: )tiny fraction of that amount, it all adds up.

The very best of luck to the couple chosen xxxxx
