Henry and Esther Shirman, two supporters that have been with the FLF since day one, recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and they certainly did so in style!

Fifty years on, they decided to recreate a special photo from their wedding day – with Esther even wearing her actual wedding dress.

With the pair dressed to the nines, they kindly asked friends and family to a party and to donate gifts to the foundation in their honour. We couldn’t be more grateful as this fundraiser managed to raise over £1,000! Thank you to everyone who donated.

The wonderful Snowdown Colliery Welfare Brass Band recently (October 8th) created a fabulous afternoon of music for the local community of Dover, Kent. The band played music chosen by one of the band members who has been diagnosed with FL and is currently in remission. The band aimed to raise funds for FLF and also to say a big thank-you for the treatment received by their band member.

Over the day the band raised over £1,300 (well surpassing their target) – a truly amazing achievement! We would like to say a massive thank you to the band and their local community for their generosity.
