Clare's Mountainous Challenge

Clare Kendall, is taking on the challenge of a lifetime in support of St Oswald's Hospice in Gosforth. She hopes to raise at least £4,000, and is looking for people to sponsor her when she climbs Kilimanjaro! Yes, Clare isn't doing anything by halves and come May she will be setting off on her 11 day trek!

In the meantime, last night, she held a fundraising dinner at Marabini's Restaurant in Morpeth, Northumberland. During the evening there was a raffle, and an auction, and, you guessed it, Tom entertained diners. He also made a contribution of over £40 from CDs sold last night.

Clare said "
Final tally was fab, I think it's about £2100! I was never expecting anywhere near that so I am sooooo pleased. It was  a great evening and Tom was just fab!!! He made the evening rock! And everyone was raving about him!"

Later, Clare's Mum, Gay, e-mailed "
Thank you for making Clare's charity night at Marabini's such an overwhelming success. You are such a talented young man with an amazing voice and I haven' t stopped telling everyone how amazing you are. I bought both your cd's which I love as they have a lovely balance of classical and modern. My grandson Patrick (8 years old) bought one of your cd's and plays it each night when he goes to bed. I' m looking forward to hearing you again. Good luck for the future." 

If you would like to support Clare in her efforts, and, let's face it, supporting Clare may be the closest most of us get to the summit of Kilimanjaro, then you can do so here. Please give generously.
