I’m sending the monthly round of cheques to suffering families. It’s finally dawned on me that where I only used to write his Christian name on an envelope, I now write the name of his charity 😢

The end (well, almost the end – still got to film the tales) of a humongous, innovative project with Lancaster University’s Engineering Department. Led by Dr Irene Wise, we’ve been collaborating with various Morcambe Bay based companies and primary schools to deliver: Engineer: What’s Your Story? I’ll miss it next week… apart from the 5am get up! Also, a tear jerking jaunt to BBC Newcastle on Wednesday with Jane Natrass of Henry Dancer Days to meet our primary fundraisers, thank them and to stress the vital role the charity plays in improving the lives of thousands of child cancer sufferers through our storytelling projects. We were interviewed so hopefully will be able to get the message out to more people across the country to KEEP FUNDING US over the next few years and beyond! A great start to the year. Even got a Pudsey Bear to take in to LGI next Wednesday…
Well done to the family!

The change in the law was inspired by the experiences of the parents of a toddler who was found dead almost a decade ago.
A great day with #pudsey at #bbcnewcastle thanking fundraisers for their amazing support!

Our Storytellers are special people. Tracey (Liverpool) is in New Zealand but sending postcards from Reuban the Dragon to children in #alderhey as he follows a quest to find his cousin Tuatara the Lizard. Good luck Reuban!!
