Story

Thank you for visiting our "Elvisly Yours" page raising funds in memory of the love of my life, my darling Maureen. Ever since Maureen had breast cancer in March 2000 we helped the 'Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre' raise many £thousands to fund counselling services for cancer victims, their relatives and friends. I would like to continue these efforts in Maureen's memory...

With the support of family, friends, fans and business associates I reached the initial target of £5,000.00. On March 28th 2008 a 'Counselling Room' was named after Maureen at the LJMC. It is simply called 'Maureen's Room', a small cosy room where victims of cancer, their family and friends can receive expert one-to-one counselling, relaxation therapy and other such treatments. 

I have set another target of £5,000.00 to raise for the LJMC. It has been started by a cheque from Kensal Green Cemetery for £1,175.00 who I sued because they scattered Maureen's ashes without my permission.They initially refused to donate to LJMC the balance amount I needed for the first £5,000.00 raised. After eight months of aggravation they settled out of Court.

The Money Shop donated a magnificent £2,000.00 in memory of Maureen when I pawned my life size Elvis Presley bronze statue for a business loan when my bank RBS refused to help a fantastic new business venture marketing "Rock Ballets" around the world with the "Peter Schaufuss Ballet Company".

Please donate generously. Whatever currency you use a credit card donation will be converted to £sterling for the 'LJMC'. Donating through this site is very simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: LJMC will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

You can also send a cheque or postal order preferably in £sterling but American US$ checks are also acceptable to LJMC. Please make cheque payable to:

'Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre' and send to:

Elvisly Yours, Park House, 15 Greenhill Cres, Watford WD18 8PH

Mark "In memory of Maureen" on the back of the cheque and your address.

Many thanks for your kind support and for honouring Maureen !!
