Who shall I be today, dear?

In five days, Alistair Hendrie became five very different and colourful characters all for the Happy House.
Alistair, who with his partner Val Black works for Lend Lease in Birmingham, came up with a novelty way of raising more than £1000 cash for our kids buy wearing fancy dress to work every day for a week.
Alistair didn't bat an eyelid at going out to meetings on construction sites dressed as Dennis the Menace or Fred Flinstone, or encountering the suited officials at local authority meetings in the persona of a priate, Elvis or Gladiator.
He and Val put together an information board telling the story of Sue and Dave and their remarkable work at  the Happy House and told everyone what a great couple they are and how they inspire everyone they meet with their dedication and love.
Val and Alistair, who are very good friends of the Happy House,  raised £900 in cash and £140 via JustGiving. making the current total £1,040.  The JustGiving page is still open for donations and can be found at http://www.justgiving.com/Valerie-Black
Wa fun way of raising money and awareness for our family, thank you so much Alistair and Val and lots of love from Sue, Dave and all the family.
