Jack's Charity Train. Raising fund for a new Children's Hospice.

[jojo]

First of all, I'd like to thank Tony who has kindly agreed to let me post this on the forum.

My wife is working to raise some money as her contribution towards the building of a new Children's Hospice in Ipswich, in Suffolk. This is taken from the East Anglian's Children's Hospices (EACH) website:

What is the Treehouse Appeal?


"The current children’s hospice in Ipswich, which serves life-threatened children and their families throughout Suffolk and North Essex, has become increasingly inadequate to meet local needs. Consequently, EACH is launching a major capital appeal and I am asking you to support them in any way you can: together we can bring this much needed care to children and families in our community."
~ Griff Rhys-Jones

My wife is hoping to raise £500 by doing something slightly unusual: train our English Bull Terrier to the level of a Bronze Award for doggy Good Citizenship! She has started a blog charting the progress (or otherwise) called Jack's Charity Train.

Now, anyone who has a Bull Terrier will probably realise this is not an easy, forgone conclusion! They are stubborn dogs

If you would like to contribute to the fund raising, you can do so by clicking on the Just Giving link on the blog. They handle the collection of the money and pass it on to EACH.

This makes the funds raising completely transparent, and your name is attached to the sum you donate on the Just Giving page. I have started the ball rolling by donating the first 10 quids, so you can see how it works in practice.

I hope you agree this is a worthwhile cause and that you will feel able to contribute to it. You can donate as much or as little as you want. It all helps.

Thanks
Joel

Best of luck with the dog training, when you are done I have three more that need sorting out.

Best of luck with raising the money.

How could I not support someone who has done so much for me?

All the best
