Portsmouth Half Marathon

Portsmouth Half Marathon
This weekend saw Cey complete his first Portsmouth Coastal Half Marathon with his fellow Clic Sargent friends . It was a tough course, very slippery some areas, with the run taking competitors through mud.  However, even in the cold and wet Cey still managed to grab a medal and a good time of 2.hrs 17 mins.
Together we raised £350 for Tanya’s Smile charity.  We’d once again thanking everyone for their support and generosity.

A Message of Hope

Gulay and Cey in Cyprus

On Monday 29th January 2018 we visited the oncology ward in Northern Cyprus to give thirty gifts to the children and young adults who are being treated there. The next day we were privileged to be invited back to watch the kids receive their half term reports.

The charity, Tanyel’s Smile, which we started in memory of beautiful daughter has taken its first steps. This was Tanyel’s last wish. We are very proud to have had an amazing, inspirational daughter who blossomed into a wonderful young lady with a heart of gold.  She had a huge, positive impact on so many people .

The best gift in the world was to have you in our lives baby girl . We will continue to help and put a little smile on the faces of children fighting cancer. I hope you are proud of us princess as we are forever proud of you Tanyel.

After meeting the doctors, parents, children and young adults; seeing the support they provide and need. and getting massive hugs, we want to redouble our efforts to do all we can to raise money for for the children and families who need so much help .

Thank you to everyone in Northern Cyprus and the UK who have helped and continue to help us to build this dream for Tanyel. Together we can give a little hope and so much joy.
