Supporting the British Heart Foundation is very important to Helen since the death of her beloved husband in 2016. Mr JK was a keen runner and Helen has now taken up the mantle. She'd never run previously but last year took part in the Great North Run and the Yorkshire 10 mile event raising over £4000 for the British Heart Foundation.
This year, two of Helen's friends are running the Brighton Marathon in Mr JK's memory and Helen is helping them with their fundraising by organising the Great Yarn Giveaway. There are dozens of prizes, from skeins of yarn to project bags, stitch markers to knitting patterns, crochet hooks to craft books, you get the idea. To be in with a chance of winning one of the fabulous prizes, all you need to do is make a donation of £2 for the British Heart Foundation through Helen's Just Giving page, a link to which can be found in the top left hand corner of her blog or you can click here. Please make sure that you tick the box alongside 'I'm happy to be contacted by' so that Helen can contact you if you're one of the lucky winners. If you don't tick that box she won't be able to get in touch with you so that's really important. I've used Just Giving in the past to donate to charities, it's simple, fast and totally secure. Just Giving never sell on your details or send unwanted emails. This giveaway is open world wide so please do enter.
A full list of the prizes are shown on Helen's Just Giving page, though it's still being updated as prizes are still arriving. I'm sure Helen would be only too happy to add to these prizes if you have a business and would like to donate something.
Helen's already raised a lot of money with this giveaway but it's open for donations until the 30th of April so let's hope that she can raise a whole lot more.
Good luck, Helen.
I'll pop over now and make a donation - it's such an easy way to give money to good causes.
