This week we had the distinct honour of supporting a private party all in aid of a fantastic cause. Here are some words from the organisers and leaders of this great charity:
Harrison’s Fund is named after our eldest son; a charming and cheeky little man. He’s single-minded when he’s set himself a goal: from cutting Daddy’s hair to being a perfect gentleman at Aunty Charlie’s wedding. Everyone who meets him loves his winning smile, his engaging character and the devilish twinkle in his eye.
To most people Harrison looks completely healthy. But on the inside, our powerful little boy is struggling. His muscles are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Because he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
By the time he’s a teenager Harrison will lose the ability to walk. Eventually he’ll lose all muscle function in his body. Like all boys with Duchenne he’ll die in his late teens or early twenties from heart or respiratory failure. Our goal is to stop Duchenne, or at least find a way to slow it down significantly, before it has a chance to dim the twinkle in Harrison’s eye.
The party was held at a private residence in Esher, Surrey, the owner of the residence had bid for our services at a previous Charity event. Our job as per usual was to provide one of our mobile bars and all associated services, including cocktails, carefully constructed by some of our very talented mixologists, all round bar support, as well as a range of other beverages, all of which we were more than happy to provide for free in aid of the charity. Below you can see Miller with one of our wooden themed mobile bars, prior to installation at the private residence:
