Personalised Christmas Cards
This year we are able to offer a 'personalised' Christmas card catalogue offering a range of cards appropriate for personal and business use. The Society's details are included in the usual way and we receive 50% of the cost of the cards you buy through this catalogue. You may order on-line by visiting www.creationchristmascards.co.uk selecting The Neuroblastoma Society as your charity and following the instructions to personalise your cards. Alternatively, please call Shirley Clark (020 8948 2671) for a leaflet detailing how to order by post. This is an excellent way for businesses to support the Society so please do mention this to your business colleagues and friends.

Christmas Tree Festival - ST MARY'S CHURCH, DALTON-IN-FURNESS. An appeal for help to decorate a tree and raise money for the Society.

Society members, Julie and Darren Thompson, enjoy decorating a tree for their local Church Christmas Tree Festival in memory of their son Declan with donations raised helping Neuroblastoma research. This year the theme is Turn a Page. As 2008 is the Silver Jubilee of the Society they thought it would be appropriate to name their tree Memories and Hope. Download further information.
