Wow, what a fabulous day we had. Thank you all sooooo much for coming and spending soooo much money - we made £4,000 and had loads of fun too. Jemima would especially would like to thank Uncle CJ for all his organising and emailing, the ladies: Philly Philpot, Lucy, Dav, Lizzie and Auntie Nic Nocs for all their organising, the van Oppens and the Howards for bringing the ponies (her absolute favourite!!!), everyone who made sandwiches or a cake, all the cricketers, Amelia, Alice, Hattie, Franny and Izzy for all their bits and bobs which they made and sold, Miss Rimmington and Miss Envis for their face painting and all the Mums who helped out with either leading ponies, taking money for teas, manning stalls or just being there.
Mima was absolutely shattered by the end of the day and needed to have a couple of bags of blood on Sunday to top her up again. She has managed a full day at school again today and thoroughly enjoyed it too. She has a couple of meds in hospital on Wednesday and then time to recover again from the last block of chemo.
Thanks very much once again to everyone for making Saturday such a success.

Oh I'm so glad it was such a success - everyone has been telling us how fantastic it was! We were all really disappointed that we couldn't make it but you chose a REALLY popular day! We'll put it in the diary for next year, though!
Lots of love from Rachel, Isla, Paul and Alison xxxxx
We all had such a lovely day at the cricket. Amelia's Daddy is still suffering though from all the bowling! It was great fun and Francesca loved the riding. In fact they all did and now want to make it a regular thing! We are all looking forward to next year already. So good to see you at school too, Amelia loves you being there and having fun together at playtime.
Lots of love Katy, Edward, Amelia, Freddie and Francescaxxxx
Thank you Mima for your invitation. It was a truly great day. Daddy didnt get bowled out for a duck (which usually happens) Mummy helped out with the ponies (which doesnt usually happen) and we three girls had one of our best days ever, playing with you all our friends. We cant wait for the next ''Jemima invites...'' event. Fundraising has never been so much fun!!
Love Fifi,Mima,Lulu,Mark and Sinead
Mima,
We all had a great afternoon last Saturday and well done for raising £4000.
lots of love, Helen, Jon, Thomas and Rebeccaxxxx
It is a month since I read your story in the Leicester Mercury - I do hope you are feeling much better now and am glad you are back at school with all your friends. I hope you will be able to enjoy your horseriding,sailing and have lots of fun with Digby.We have a chestnut mare called Rosie -she is 15.2 hh so perhaps too big for you to ride now but perhaps when you are a bit taller you can come and ride her if you want. Keep smiling, Liz
