Past events by supporters...
Amber's annual drinks party took place at Mayfair's prestigious Bentley car showroom in Berkeley Square. Over 150 people attended including Kevin Green, the Secret Millionaire who visited Amber in 2009 and is running the London Marathon for Amber.
Four artists, Michael Angove, Luke Piper, Carlos Ortiz-Patino and Dione Verulam, supported Amber's stand at Art London by donating 50% of the sale proceeds of all works sold at the fair. Art London donated the stand. It was a wonderful 5 days that not only enabled us to tell many people about Amber's work but which also raised nearly £15,000 thanks to the generosity of the four artists and Art London.
More keen runners at Macfarlanes, Frances Game, Vicki Hutchinson, Simon Morris and Dereck Ryan, supported Amber and ran the British 10K London Run. All ran well within the hour and raised around £1,000.
Three employees at Macfarlanes, Alexandra Openshaw, Will White and Aaran Burke, were joined by an Amberteer, Marc Carpenter, and Amber supporters Eunice Ho and Thomas Condie and raised over £2,700 for Amber when they ran the BUPA 10K race in London.
Eddie Jordan took time out of his busy schedule with the BBC F1 Commentary Team to host a private party with Michelin Star chef Marco Pierre White at Frankie’s in Knightsbridge to raise funds for Amber. Fellow F1 commentator Jake Humphreys compered the evening that included a fabulous live gig by Eddie and his band The Robbers with guest appearances from rock icons Roger Daltry, Mike Rutherford and Nick Mason. Ian Hislop was also a guest.
