Sir.-A very sincere "thank you" to everyone who supported the motown/soul fundraising event at The Anvil last Friday.

So many of you bought tickets, and donated money as well as auction and raffle prizes.

We think you will be as pleased as we are to learn that, as a result of your goodwill and generosity, we are able to donate the magnificent sum of £11,025 to the Basing Unit at Basingstoke hospital in memory of my husband, Pat McIlvenny.

He would have been so very proud of this achievement, as indeed we all are.

The biggest thank you must go to Liz Cosgrove, who turned Pat's idea of raising "some" money for the Basing Unit into this amazing reality.

Bless you all.

-Jacky McIlvenny and family, Basingstoke.
