cancer fundraising

It’s been a busy day with thee Life of Mique teddy bears. The day started off with me being able to share a photo of the ex Scottish international footballer, Chris Iwelumo, with a teddy. His fiancée, Jade Annelise, bought a bear last week and sent me this cracking photo. All photos help to raise
