I am blown away by the generosity of everybody already and want to thank you all - we're already 1/3 of the way to my minimum target which will also allow me to make some donations to the individuals and organisations which really need them! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Since setting up this page, I've been thinking about ways to boost things even more. I've been busy trying to contact local Facebook groups who have a large number of followers. However, many of these groups have a no-crowdfunding policy - fair enough but this doesn't get my story heard (although I won't be giving up). Please keep sharing the link in as many ways as possible! In the next few days, I will also be bombarding you lovely people with some videos - if you have any questions or suggestions, pop me a message and I'll do what I can!).

So, what else have I been doing? Thinking. Thinking and creating. The advantage of beginning my business from home is having the opportunity to take an idea and run with it. Today's make was a simple one:

Embroidered felt badges with the widely recognised medical alert symbol - red and purple (as the commonly used colour for epilepsy awareness).


(Image quality will be better if you are viewing this on a mobile device - if you are on a laptop. please excuse the potentially fuzzy quality!)

Sew on badges to draw attention to more detailed medical alerts such as a bracelet or necklace. There are probably similar items already available, but there really is something satisfying making something yourself - even more so when it has the potential to help someone else.

Stay tuned for even more updates - thank you again for the support!
