An Amazing Night...

Last night was Williams race night held by http://www.ifieldchestnuthouse.co.uk/ at Ifield Cricket Club in Crawley.  It was brilliant!  A great group of lovely people who raise money for Chestnut Tree House and other local charities and we were lucky enough for them to put all their efforts and hard work into raising money for William to have a sensory room at home - we feel really privileged!


The night itself was great fun, betting on pre-recorded horse races.  We let William choose our horses, lets just say if he turns out to be a gambling man he's going to be very very poor!  He didn't pick a single winner! I won a grand total of £6 which needless to say I then gambled away but that's the fun of it isn't it!


I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who was involved in planning and organising the night and running it so smoothly, and of course thank you to everyone who sponsored horses & races in advance and donated and bet on the races last night.  The lucky winners of the auction race put the whole £125 back into the pot which is just amazing, thank you so much!!

So now William can have his own little sensory wonderland to enjoy at home which I know he will love, we will post some photos once its all up and running in the next few months and of course anyone who would like to come and see it is more than welcome!

What a fantastic end to a dreadful few weeks!  THANK YOU ALL!
