12 year-old Amy requires life changing surgery on her spine to correct severe Scoliosis. Amy has already beat a diagnosis of double congenital lung cysts, requiring removal of part of both lungs, now she faces an operation to correct severe Scoliosis on her spine at a cost of £40k for private treatment.
Today we handed over the cheque to young Amy Simpson with the proceeds of our Young Bird Auction. A staggering £11,350 was handed over to Amy and her family.
Can I say from Myself and Eddie, plus Amy & her family, we want to personally thank every single fancier for supporting our YB Sale with birds, purchases, donations, and well wishes.
Amy flies out on Tuesday to have her surgery and we are delighted that with the support from The Pigeon Fraternity - Amy Will Get Her Christmas Wish. Gary & Eddie.
Amy was visited by a few pigeons (and their minders!) earlier today.
When Eddie McGettigan contacted us just a few weeks ago and said he wanted to organise a Pigeon Auction for Amy's Christmas Wish, we had no idea that it would generate such a huge sum of money!!! When we got word of this total earlier in the week we knew we had reached the total that we had targeted and it came as such a relief to Amy's family.
A huge thanks to Eddie McGettigan (Strabane) and Gary Donaldson (Portadown) for making this happen, also a huge thanks to all the breeders who donated birds to the auction and to all you guys who bid on the birds. You have been absolutely- amazing, and you've made sure that Amy gets the operation she desperately needs. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Amy's Christmas Wish.
