Messages of Support from Eamonn and Ruth

We were really pleased to receive a lovely letter from Eamonn Holmes together with signed charity cards by himself and Ruth Langsford. We wish to thank Eamonn for his wonderful comments on the charity and Christopher. It was also tremendous when both Eamonn and Ruth signed our cards and also sent over an official photo of them. We will frame the photo and cards to help raise funds.

Our sincere thanks to Eamonn and Ruth for taking the time to support us this way.
