Lanzarote Relocation

As some of you know – we often get involved in fundraising activities in Lanzarote. Here is one that is very special to so many of us… cancer.

Here are a few words from Phil Burch:

Helen Stevens a well recognised face in Playa Blanca unfortunately lost her fight against cancer on 5th Feb 2010 aged only 25. A popular waitress in La Bocaina Restaurant in Playa Blanca Helen was always a welcome face there. But more often than that Helen would be recognised out in the town usually singing in the various bars on karaoke with her powerful but elegant singing voice and making everyone enjoy themselves with her infectious laugh. Originally only visiting the island for two weeks to visit her friends Paul & Nina Ecob at the restaurant like many she ended up staying for over two years.

The resort of Playa Blanca will sadly miss Helen and so the owners of La Bocaina restaurant and many local residents are putting together a charity evening to celebrate her life. A charity dinner, auction and raffle amongst other fundraising efforts are being organised for the 17th of April to raise money for her family’s choice charity Cancer Research UK . The restaurant will be donating 50% of the ticket directly to the charity as well as the usage of the restaurant throughout the afternoon and evening for other fundraising efforts.

If you would like to support the fundraising efforts in any way then please get in touch with Phil Burch at Lanzarote Business Sales via phil@lanzabusiness.com who are collecting ideas, donations and prizes for the various activities to be held. If you would like to book your table for the dinner then call Nina or Paul at the restaurant on 928518388 or email labocainarestaurant@hotmail.com.

Alan came up with the idea of getting people to guess the weight of Phil & Chrischi’s impending arrival – so here is a link so you can get involved with that too! Every little helps for this very worthwhile cause.
