Story

Our big event for 2014 was a major exhibition of Sue's botanical watercolours for 2 weeks  at Royal Horticultural Harlow Carr Gardens, Harrogate. The aim was to raise another £7,000 from prints cards & originals. To our astonishment the we raised £14,000. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page. I'm sorry I'm no longer able to give you a hug, but I am thinking of you. As soon as my tumour was discovered I resolved to raise money through my garden and paintings. A huge thank you for your generosity so far.

Since Sue’s death from an aggressive brain tumour in March 2013 Mark and Gemma have pledged to raise £20,000 for brain tumour research.  Sue left behind a legacy not just of great cooking, hospitality and friendship but a large collection of her botanical illustrations and other artwork.  By the end of 2013 we had raised £5,000 in various ways. 

We thank you for your support, we are hugely appreciative.

Mark and Gemma xx
