Enfield's Nightingale Cancer Support Centre has benefited from many fundraising efforts - but this one is truly remarkable!

Margaret's 100-years young jam-making challenge 1/1/2022 to 31/12/2022

margaret and her jamI am fundraising for the Nightingale Cancer Support Centre in my 100th year by making at least 50 jars of jam/marmalade throughout the year - one jar for every two years!

This is for me a particular challenge not only because of my young age (hmmm) but as I have limited sight due to macular degeneration and rheumatoid arthritis in both hands. (I have very limited assistance  – usually just scraping out the pan if required and tasting of course!) The rest of the task I complete by myself. It is something that I really enjoy doing.

I have made jam/marmalade for close family and friends (by donation to Nightingale) for many years but have decided to take the fundraising to another level in my 100th year.

Hopefully, you will help support this incredible charity for me in my 100th year in lieu of presents or gifts.

Sorry, I can't give you all a jar or two (as I cannot make this into a commercial process).
