This will not happen again for a thousand years. I wonder who will decide to work out whether or not that last statement is true.
Help Secure Jacks Place @ Naomi House
Once again Sii is running everywhere in an effort to make himself fit enough for another sponsored marathon.
This time, he’s trying to raise money for jacksplace@naomihouse. Naomi House provide respite care, terminal care and bereavement support for children, young people and their families. Netbasic organised a trip last year to visit the hospice, and it’s really good to see what a fantastic job they are doing there.
Jack’s Place is a multi-million pound project to create an entire new building to provide support for young people. Because of the financial crisis, Naomi house, like many charities, are currently going through a really hard time – they have a huge amount of funds at risk in the bank – and are campaigning to secure the funds that the hospice rely on to keep giving support for children with life-limiting and terminal illnesses.
Radio 4 will be airing a programme called Seven Days tonight at 8pm, which I hope will raise awareness for Naomi House’s campaign.
In the mean time you can help right now by sponsoring Sii’s run – it’s for a really good cause and your donation really will be appreciated, and will go towards buying a door that will allow the young people to go where they please, see their friends, or pop out in the garden for some fresh air – just like you and I can whenever we want.
