My wife and I are organising a ‘Yellow and Black Ball’ and Charity Auction to raise awareness for a debilitating neurological condition, which my wife suffers from, called ‘Fibromyalgia’. It affects between 1.2 and 2.7 million people in the UK and yet hardly anyone has heard of it.

The ball and auction are taking place at the Royal Thames Yacht club in Knightsbridge, London on the 10^th May 2008.

This is to tie in with International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and also the launch of the ‘Polkadotgals’ 2009 Calendar, featuring tastefully shot nude photos, volunteers for which include celebrities, Olympians, suffers and carers including a certain Microsoft employee...

We are looking for items to add to the auction, not necessarily expensive, but unique. For example the current headline item is a day’s sailing for 8 on one of Andrew Pindar’s round the world yachts.

If anyone has any ideas or is interested in finding out more, please could you get in touch with myself or my wife!
