November Update
The Committee
Initially Amy’s H.O.P.E. 20 was set up so that we could raise money to mark the 20th anniversary of Amy’s diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis.
Well, the anniversary has been and gone but the fundraising continues and as it looks like we will keep raising funds for the various organisations that have helped Amy over the years we decided to make Amy’s H.O.P.E. 20 an official charity.
We are not big enough to become a registered charity – YET, but we can apply to be a Small Charity. To do this we need to put a committee together, which we’ve done. There are currently eight people on the committee and we have so far had a couple of meetings. The application form has been signed and submitted and now we are just waiting to hear …. An update will let you know how we get on with this, but in the meantime if any of our followers are interested in becoming committee members please contact us.
