We have some news to announce that means a great deal to us!
Many of you will remember Maggie Adcock. She was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma in 2022 and sadly passed away in June 2023, having just turned 18.
We were fortunate enough to meet Maggie when we held a cake sale fundraiser during the summer of 2023. Despite everything she was going through, she had the most beautiful smile, the most bubbly personality, and the most positive energy of anyone in the room. That left a lasting impression on the Manning family and our whole team, and it's something that's stayed with us ever since.
Maggie's family live in Hilton β quite literally across the road from our dealership. We've always believed in supporting local causes, and there is no greater cause, and no more local, than this one.
After Maggie passed, her incredible friends and family formed The Margaret Adcock Foundation β a registered UK charity that supports education for disadvantaged children, provides grants to families facing childhood cancer, and funds research into the disease that took her.
We're proud to announce a partnership with the foundation. Every car we sell will result in a donation from us, and we'll be giving every customer the opportunity to add their own donation too.
And we would also like to announce plans to put the old Aldi site we have recently acquired to fantastic use once every year. In memory of our Maggie, we'll be opening our doors to host a community fundraising event around the festive period. We want local businesses, residents, and anyone who wants to get involved to come together and help us raise as much money as possible for a cause that means the world to us. We hope it becomes an annual Hilton tradition where the whole of Hilton can get together, and put our community spirit behind a fantastic cause.
On that note β the foundation is holding its first ever Summer Ball this June. An evening of live music, dining, dancing, an auction and fundraising activities. We'll be there, and we'd love to see as many Hilton faces as possible. Tickets here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/themargaretadcockfoundation/2051789
We think Maggie represented everything that's good about this village. and we'd like to part with a reminder from Maggie herself : "Live every day as it comes. Find and do things that genuinely bring you joy. No one's tomorrow is guaranteed. Be grateful for everything and you will find yourself enjoying everything a little bit more."
We're honoured to play a small part in keeping her legacy alive.
