Julie and Mark Peacock - North Wingfield are doing their Christmas lights for charity

Transcript

00:00Hi, my name is Julie and this is my husband Mark. We do the Christmas Charity Lights.

00:07We've been doing it now for four years. Mark had a double lung transplant last October

00:12so luckily now we've been able to do the O-Log and doing front, back and in the summer house.

00:18This year we're hoping to raise lots of money because we've also joined forces with a team

00:22in Claycross and we're trying to raise £20,000 for the cuddle bed for Ashgate Hospice. So

00:29we're going to give half of the donations to those as well so that really means a lot

00:33to us. So that's the main reason we're doing it.

00:37Yeah, it is, yeah. So we'd like to thank everybody who's been and make everybody welcome who's

00:44going to come, aren't we?

00:46Yeah. We've been doing it, same as I say, we've been doing it for four years now and

00:51we've raised probably about £8,000 or £9,000 roughly I think it is and we've probably bought

00:59another £1,500 worth this year to add to our collection because we don't like it to

01:04ever be the same.

01:05Have you?

01:06Yes, I have.

01:07Yes, you have.

01:08He doesn't mind really.

01:09He does.

01:10But yeah, we just love to see smiles on people's faces especially when they've got Walk Right

01:14Corner.

01:15Especially Jodie.

01:16Yeah, and it just brings so much joy. Of course we've bought a snow machine and when Santa's

01:22not able to get here we'll put the snow machine on so we've had kids actually laying on the

01:27ground making snow angels and they're just having so much fun. So that's mainly the reason

01:32why we're doing it, isn't it?

01:33Yeah.
