Winter Warmer is perfect Christmas treat |
|
 We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Winter Warmer Event in December and made it such a huge success.
An excitable audience were entertained and delighted by the always brilliant Vivace! choir, who collected a fabulous selection of old favourites and festive classics to entertain us with. The audience were also in good voice, as we were quickly roped into singing festive classics such as ‘Once in Royal David's City’ and ‘O Come all ye faithful’.
The night raised over £600 which will go towards saving the lives of vulnerable people living with TB in Africa and Asia.
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a super event - thanks also to all the local businesses who offered prizes for the raffle and pastries for the interval.
A huge thanks goes to:
Cristina our amazing volunteer who made the night such a success, our fabulous actors Kate Dyson and Nicholas Boulton who thrilled us all with their festive readings, Chilli Pickle Restaurant for not 1 but 2 gift vouchers for their scrumptious food, Boxbird Art Gallery, Unlimited editions, Montezuma’s, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer’s, Mr Simms Sweet Shop, Real Patisserie, Co-Operative, Clipper Teas and Hell’s Kitchen Deli.
Keep your eyes peeled for more Target TB event in 2012! |

 Running a Half Marathon gives you a buzz, and although it's hard work the sense of achievement is huge - and it's even better when you know you are saving the lives of people with TB at the same time. This year four runners tackled the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Target TB. Himanshu Dalal, Jennifer Cheng, Poonam Gill and Balkaran Singh all pushed themselves through the pain barrier to completed the beautiful 13.1mile run and raise vital funds to save the lives of people living with TB today in Africa and Asia.
"The sense of achievement far outweighs the pain"

Isabelle's incredible story |
|
 Isabelle Pires is 31, she lives with her husband and two small children in Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste (East Timor.) Timor-Leste has one of the highest burdens of TB in Asia and with over 50% of the population living on less than $1.25 a day we are working now to reduce the numbers of people dying from this devastating disease.
Isabelle became ill with TB in 2006, she was started on a course of treatment, but this failed. She was started on a second course, but this also failed and her health had deteriorated to the point where she was too weak to work and was unable to breastfeed her baby.
Having had two courses of regular TB treatment fail, the health centre she was attending suspected that she had Multi Drug Resistant TB (MDR-TB.)
