Do Summit Good Charity Ball

The Do Summit Good Charity Ball was a huge success. All the hard work and effort paid off and it's looking like the final figure raised for Alexander Devine and Help for Heroes is over £55,000. I will update you all once I know for sure.

The night was held at Wentworth Club and consisted of a champagne reception, followed by a Nepalese themed dinner, live entertainment from the Piccadilly Dance Orchestra and a disco to finish the night off.

Prior to dinner I had the honour of being interviewed by the legend himself, Sir Michael Parkinson. It was an amazing experience, sharing a stage with him and a memory that will never be forgotten. Also, I had the surprise of my dad standing up and saying a few words, this was a very nice touch to start off the proceedings.

The master of ceremonies and auctioneer Nick Stewart, did an amazing job keeping the night on track and keeping all in order. Also the magician Etiene Pradier was incredible. The feedback I have had on this guy is amazing. I missed every trick, unfortunately.

This night would not have been possible without the help of all involved and I would like to make a special  mention to Brenda Harrington, Jackie McKay and Shelby Bonham-Lloyd and thank them for their efforts and time in helping me organise such an amazing event, this would not of been possible without you.

Also I would like to thank my fiance Natalie, for her help and support. All the literature would not of been what it was without her journalistic eyes. My brother Andy for his help in pulling together the brochure. The list of thank you's is huge, but a big thank you to all of you that helped pull this together.

I'm very excited to get in the final figures and see how much we raised. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart that attended the ball, it would not have been possible or the success that it was without you.
