'Carmen Woods' Donates Handbags for the 'Harrison Fund' Charity Ball.

We are donating two of our beautiful bags for auction at the ‘Sky High Ball’ at the Millbank Tower in London on 28th August. The ball is to raise money for a very worthy charity called Harrison's Fund www.harrisonsfund.org. Our designers school friend’s young son, Harrison was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in January 2011. It is a muscle wasting disease which will eventually take his life. There is currently no cure so is 100% fatal. Funding into research is either not happening or terribly slow so they have set up a charity called Harrison's Fund to raise money to fund the much needed research. If you’d like to know more about this amazing project to help young children or to give a donation, please visit their website. Harrison's Fund
