Past Fundraising Events Movember 2011 This was the first event held in Luca's memory.

The 2 teams consisted of Veterans in one team and friends and family of Luca in the other team. We were lucky enough to get some amazing raffle prizes from local businesses and a Official England football that was used during a tournament. The players also paid to play and we had a official Fsid collection box going around the spectators collecting donation. With all this added together we managed to raise another £1000 for Fsid. Ladies Night Fundraiser April 2012 This evening was a night of two halves. The first half had a host of local businesses who all came together to sell and promote their products. These business which include Capture Photography Devon, Lucy B Bees products, Cap ‘T Torture, Footprint direct, Bluebella of Brixham, Zena’s Beauty Therapy and Jo Parkes Vintage Gifts willing gave up their time and a percentage of all sales to help and support this wonderful charity. The Second half consisted of a raffle where again the support that was offered by local business was amazing as was the DJ who offered his services for free and really got the party going and kept it going to the early hours of the morning. This evening was a huge success and the money that was raised currently stands at an amazing £1450 which we are hoping to double with the generosity of Satander Banking company who will match any money that was raised for this evening. Torbay Half Marathon and Fun Run June 2012 On 24th June we had a team of 21 runners who took part in the Torbay Half Marathon and a team of 22 who took part in the fun run.

Co-operative Funeral Directors Summer Fate June 2012 The end of June played host to The Summer Fate, all week leading up to this event we were praying the weather would hold out and we were lucky except for one down pour the day was lovely. The employees at The CO-OP worked hard to make sure this event went off with a bang. There was Face Painting, a Bouncy Castle, Penalty Shoot Out and a Iggle Piggle character to keep the children happy. There was also a Tea & Coffee stand, loads of cakes, a Sweet stand, jewellery to buy, guess the sweets and a raffle draw - so plenty to keep everyone entertained. The Boss man had also volunteered himself for the throwing of the wet sponges and by doing this he personally raised £219 - which is brilliant. I have just had conformation from Hayley at the CO-OP and the total for monies raised at this event has totalled a wonderful £1118 - A brilliant total achieved through a wonderful team - CO-OP FUNERAL DIRECTORS x Peer 1 - The Three Peaks Challenge August 2012 Peer 1 is a IT Hosting Company based in Southampton who love raising money for Charities. They decided to undertake the The Three Peaks Challenge in August 2012 and we were lucky enough that they chose FSID in memory of Luca to raise money for. Donya Fitzsimmons was the lovely lady that put Our Charity to her company and they were happy to go with her choice. I was luckily enough to work with Donya many years ago and through Facebook we kept in touched, so when she contacted me with her idea I was thrilled that she wanted to raise money for FSID. It was touching to see that Luca's little life was still having a impact that reached beyond his family. The whole Peer 1 Team did fantastic to complete their incredible challenge in 26.5 hours and in the process raised a brilliant total of £2,240. 25 Mile Bike Ride For Luca Septemeber 2012 In September Chris Bashford completed a 25 mile bike ride cycling in fancy dress from Bovey Tracey to Tavistock, stopping at Haytor, Widecombe in the moor, Ponswothy, Dartmeet and Two Bridges.
