ABOUT THE FORGET-ME-NOT PROJECT:
The Forget-Me-Not Project was launched in October 2011 by a keen theatre-goer as part of a fund-raising initiative for Leukaemia & Lymphona Research. It is dedicated to the memory of my sister, Sue Pope (nee Beaumont) who died of Acute Myleoid Leukaemia at the age of 30. You can read more about Sue's story and the background to The Forget-Me-Not Project here.
Among the many people who have participated so far are stars of stage & screen such as Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Michael Ball, Robin Williams, Sarah Lancashire, Kiefer Sutherland, Stephen Fry, John Barrowman, Sir Ian Botham and many, many more.... The idea behind The Forget-Me-Not Project is deviously simple. Check out the How it works... page for more information.
To date The Forget-Me-Not Project has been able to pass over £5000 to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. Please help to increase this amount during 2014 by publicising / participating in our regular auctions. Thanks!

Christmas Eve 2014
Wishing a very Happy Christmas to all my friends & followers. Thank you for your continued support in helping to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. 2014 has been The Forget-Me-Not Project's best year yet, with over £1500 raised in the last auction alone. I'm eager to build on this in 2015 (a year which promises some major challenges for me personally). May it bring health and happiness to all... Fiona x

The Forget-Me-Not Project celebrates its 3rd birthday this week, and what better way to mark the occasion than by passing the fantastic sum of £620 on to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research? That was the amount raised in the auction which began on 18th September and, in case you haven't yet bid, the good news is that all of the unsold items are still available in a 2nd chance auction. Take a look and grab it before it's gone! And don't forget, lots more fantastic items will be on offer in our bumper Christmas auction starting on 20th November. Watch this space for details...
