How to enter (U.K. entries only, I’m afraid):
1. Donate £5 to my fundraiser for my life-saving neurosurgery at gofundme.com/savejenny – this will enter your name into the draw one time. If you would like more entries into the raffle, you can donate £5 for each extra entry into the draw
2. Take a screenshot of your donation and send it to this email address, which shall be manned by my Mum, Ann: [email protected]
Please include the name by which you would like to be known by, for when names are drawn out of a hat.
YOU NEED TO HAVE ENTERED BY 6pm GMT ON 12TH OCTOBER 2026. So you haven’t got long to enter! Names will be drawn out of a hat on 13th October 2026 and the winners will be notified.
1st place will get first pick of which prize they would like.
2nd place will get 2nd choice.
3rd will get the last prize left.
Good luck!
Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with Steptember. It really seemed to capture people’s imaginations and it was wonderful to see so many people joining in, especially on Instagram. I have an Instagram Story highlights circle labelled ‘Steptember’ if you would like to view all the photos that people took. My instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/jennyrowbory
A special thanks goes to Amy Scott Robinson who put in a stellar effort and did a whole photo series on the various stairs and steps of St Mary’s Church. Also, thank you to Laurence Tilley who contributed a trio of photos of steps in York. Thanks also to Char, Violet, Phil and Abi for their magnificent efforts too.
I have continued to post book reviews, as well as videos of my reactions to the new series of The Celebrity Traitors (I listen to it via audio description), and fundraising videos
on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jennyrowbory
as well as on YouTube https://youtube.com/@jenny.rowbory and on Instagram, which automatically syncs up with my facebook. I always appreciate support on social media to help with the algorithm. I add a brief fundraising message to the end of each video. I make sure to tag relevant people in those posts, who could potentially help.
My Mum is continuing with her letter writing and emailing campaign to various companies, journalists, and other individuals who might be able to help.
I shall be posting the following slides on my Instagram, TikTok, Facebook etc., where you will be able to share my post about the raffle. Or you could just share the link to this blog post with friends/family who would be interested in the raffle.
Here is the link to my video that explains what is wrong with my neck, what I have to do every day to stay alive, and why it is getting more urgent that I get this neurosurgery as soon as possible:
