I’m going to take time to mention the cause that we are supporting tonight as it is such an important one; the Amanda Young Foundation. This non-profit foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of meningococcal disease, to raising funds to research for a vaccine, and to educating people to recognise the symptoms and to be aware of the need for the immediate medical attention that it requires. If you don’t know much about meningococcal disease then please take a few minutes to view the Amanda Young Foundation site. Informing yourself as to the nature of this terribly swift and deadly disease could save the life of someone you know.
Now for the debut of my “Rosetta” dress, name thought up by my son…
