Who doesn't know beautiful little Kirsty? Known by many as 'Beckham's Angel'. The amazingly brave and terminally ill little girl, born with her heart back to front. Doctors said she may not survive past 4 years old, but miraculously at 12 years old, she's still beating the odds and continuing to spearhead the campaign to raise money for Francis House Children's Hospice.
We created this beautiful image at Yaffé Fusion Art for the fifth Angel Ball, last December. It went in the Auction and raised a staggering £22,000 for the appeal! By the end of the evening, the long awaited target amount of five million was achieved!
For everyone that knows Kirsty however, would know that she couldn't just stop there, go home and do nothing. So The Kirsty Club was born! The club is a charity set-up to help finance the purchase of much needed equipment and renovations for the hospice. Plus any other items required to help make the stay of the young children visiting more comfortable.
It is because of our continuous support and fundraising for the appeal over the years, that the organisers have bestowed upon us a most wonderful recognition of our hard work. They have asked us to become patrons of the appeal! Wow!!!
We both look forward to seeing Kirsty again soon at the annual Kirsty Ball held in Manchester next month. Watch this space for pictures from the event.
