After reading the many posts leading up to Melancholies wedding, the wonderful photos of her Dad proudly at her side and sadly the news of his passing I've been in touch with many of you regarding setting up a collection in Memory of Mels Dad, John Drew. Over 40 of you have responded to me directly, and I suspect some more of you may wish to donate on reading this - even if its just a very small amount.

I've now spoken with Mel by email and she's given her blessing for a collection to be set up for Wakefield Hospice, where John spent his last few weeks. So please visit this page to make your donation directly to Wakefield Hospice securely online.

I'd like to share this part of the email Mel sent to me .... As an English teacher I ought to be able to find the words to express how grateful I am for the support I've received from all of you on Hitched, but I don't think they actually exist. I hope you all know how appreciated you are without me needing to say it.

Below I list all the lovely Hitchers who took the time to reply to me yesterday and today..

Teeheeyoucrazyguys, Bluewater, Freckleface, Donnaj36, Twinks, Missdeedee, CraftyEm, Debbydo, Loobyg, Spamboule, Scotlady101, Jules40, Willownat, Lovely Lady, Carole Miller Designs, Nicky167, Lisaloulou, Nicandeuan, RuthyWuthy, Tiararama, Soon2bsummers, Flo & Percy, Duck No More, Pure Treats, PenelopeP, Emma Louise, Ashmegdj, RainbowFlorist, Carriag 4 Now, Masal, Purrfect Gems, Mrs W2B, Melodrama, Tah Dah, AyceeUK, Caz79, English Girl in Bangkok, Smiley, Annandy2007, FutureMrsLord.

If I've missed anyone, apologies but you are all thanked for your support.

Mrs Snow Patroller x

    Mrs SP, thank you for setting this up on behalf of Hitchers, I'm sure there are lots of people on here who have been touched by the recent posts and this is a lovely way to show Mel and her family that they have the love and support of everyone and that we're thinking of them.

    Ali xx

    but the good news is that we are up to £135 already, with just 19 folk having donated. I hope everyone who replied to say they would send something go online and do it ... it could add up to a really tidy sum for the hospice.

    Thanks again all.

    Mels story really touched me and many people. To see that the money we have raised is now up to £330 just goes to show this. I was thinking that £10 wasnt enough, but then when you look at how every little adds up Im sure the hospice are going to be touched with any amount we raise.

    Its times like this when I can truely say I proud to be a hitcher and part of a great community of people.

    I'm from Wakefield and the Hospice do fantastic work with dedicated staff. A work colleague of mine died in the same Hospice last week (going to her funeral tomorrow) - they deserve every penny for the work they do.
