Bickley's Brain Bonanza‏ (July 13th, 2012)

A bit different to my usual posts, but this is close to my heart. Last year at Bestival my friend Jodi Bickley was biten by a tic - 3 weeks later she suffered a brain infection, which led to her having her stroke - it took her 5 months to learn to walk and write again, but her head continues to get worse. She is currently on 19 (yes, 19) tablets a day, but it's not enough, so her friends have gone ahead to contact one of the top neurologists in the country so that Jodi can be seen privately. However, to do this we need to raise some money, and to get the ball rolling, there will be a fundraiser taking place next month in Birmingham.

The date has been confirmed as Friday, July 13, with the event being held at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath, Birmingham and will start at 8pm.
 
If you're free and willing to perform on that date, could you please contact Sarah (Jodi's housemate) to confirm that you can do it, and what it is that you do. It will be a pretty relaxed event, with the main point of the night to have a really nice time, see some wicked poets/singers and have a good ol' dance. As you can imagine, there has been a huge response, so for those performing, it might be a short set (10 minutes or so) so we can fit everyone in. We're also holding a raffle, so for those of you that can't come, if there's anything you can donate for that then please let us know.
 
That covers the main points - if you need any more information, just get in touch with Sarah (or me). Her number is 07950263978 if you need it, and she's also on Facebook / Twitter (@sarahbeadyman).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Lots of love x
