I don’t even know where to begin with writing a caption to go with this…
The final, official total raised by A Night For Martyn is an unbelievable…
£30,570.85.
In just a few short months, what began as an idea to honour Martyn has grown into something far bigger than any of us could ever have imagined.
Local businesses donated prizes, services, time and money. Volunteers gave up countless hours. Thousands of raffle tickets were bought and sold. People bid generously, shared every post, helped behind the scenes and supported us in more ways than we could possibly list.
Every single person played a part in reaching this incredible total.
All £30,570.85 has been raised for The Fire Fighters Charity, in the name of our hero, Martyn, on what would have been his 40th birthday.
Of course, the money raised will make a genuine difference but this became about so much more than a number. It showed just how loved Martyn was, how many lives he touched and what can happen when an entire community comes together for someone who meant so much to so many.
There will never be enough words to properly thank everyone who helped make A Night For Martyn what it became. Whether you donated, volunteered, sponsored, attended, bought a ticket, shared a post or simply supported us along the way, this total belongs to all of you.
We set out to give Martyn the celebration he deserved.
I think it’s safe to say we did him proud.
£30,570.85 for The Fire Fighters Charity.
For Martyn. Always.
