The First Festival of Hope in Carew Pavilion, just after Adam died had a footfall of 7000 and £56,000 was raised to start the fundraising for a new Cancer Day Unit for Withybush Hospital.
Adam's Bucketful of Hope Charity teamed up with the Welsh Blood Service and added a page to the Guinness Book of Records - the most Bone Marrow Donors collected in 24 hours from Pembrokeshire. Well done Pembrokeshire!
We are attempting to break more records in our third Festival of Hope 2024 in and around the Haverfordwest High School site on Saturday August 31st from 10.00am to 6.00pm, where once again we will be teaming up with the Welsh Blood Service to try to set up new records for Blood and Bone Marrow Donations. If you have thought about giving blood now is your opportunity to be a hero and save many lives!
All our cancer patients at one time or another need blood - indeed we never know when we ourselves will need it! So if you've been thinking of giving blood - what better way than in a Festival!
The Blood vans will be meeting the Blood Bikes, the Three Amigos and friends from other clubs at Penblwyn to es**rt the Blood Service into Haverfordwest and with a colourful and noisy fanfare around the one way system will herald the start of the Festival!
We want to thank everyone - Heather Small of MPeople, the wonderful musicians and singers,
food tenders, craft and well being stall holders, the fire fighters, RNLI, army, police, Classic Cars, the fair and Bouncy Castle owners, the wonderful bikers, the Charities and the amazing Buckateers! - without all of you ..... we couldn't do what we do!
We are soooooo excited!! and looking forward to a fantastic family fun day with a very serious message - we need you to give blood! Be a special Hero - save lives!!
