On July 30th, I will have been registered as a pharmacist for 30 years. I've been blessed with an interesting and fulfilling professional life. Pharmacy was a good choice for me, and, 30 years ago, I could never have imagined the opportunities that it would present.
I want to celebrate with a fundraising event to support my favourite charities:
Greyhoundhomer: When I was very young I didn’t want to be a pharmacist, I wanted to be “Julie the kennel maid” and dedicate my life to looking after dogs! My early ambition never really disappeared, so now I’m looking after my eighth rescue dog (my 6th greyhound!) and have dedicated my spare time to supporting the rescue and rehoming of retired greyhounds.
But I also need to give something back to the profession, so some of the money raised will go to:
Pharmacist Support: a charity dedicated to supporting pharmacists and their families in times of need. Pharmacy Support offers a range of services from financial help though to specialist advice and a confidential “listening friends” helpline.
How you can support my 30 years fundraiser?
Sponsor the Big Bake
I will be undertaking a bake-a-thon with a difference from Wednesday July 29th to Friday July 31st. The difference? I will be baking dog treats!
My target is to bake 30 different varieties of doggy treats in 30 hours of baking (10 hours per day) – that adds up to around 1,000 dog treats!
You can donate to either of my favourite causes via:
Pharmacist Support: www.justgiving.com/sue-cook7/
Retired Greyhound Trust: www.justgiving.com/sue-cook6 (or via Greyhoundhomer's "my donate" page - that doesn't link to my event so do drop me a line if you use that route)
The Big Bake Sale
On Saturday 1st August, I’ll be running a big bake sale at Nutfield Memorial Hall, High Street, Nutfiel, Surrey from 10am to 4pm.
This is your big chance to buy:
• Appetising home-baked dog treats
• Delicious home-baked cakes for humans! These have been donated by my talented baking friends.
• A cream tea with my home-made jam
• A selection of bric-a-brac and jumble
I need to check out the cost of postage, but I may be able to send dog treats out by post - details to follow.
I've got a few friends to help me, but if anyone fancies a day in Surrey then let me know :-)
