Just a little update.

The family continue to be overwhelmed by the amount of support from everyone throughout the world. Donations continue to flood in. Events continue to be organised locally and further afield, with press coverage and high profile people continuing to promote the cause.

The fund now stands at £152,000.

We can add to that pending income from lots of upcoming events, raffles, and auctions. Local schools raised over £10,000 on Friday alone through various events held by the children, which is still to be added to the fund. Players and officials from Celtic and Rangers Football Clubs in Scotland have also collected a sizeable sum which has still to be added as well.

An ATC lady, who works with me, has volunteered to have her head shaved at an event in march and this will raise several thousands of ££££'s from her workmates.

The family thank each and everyone of you for the genuine support and kindness which they have experienced. They know there is a long way to go, but the fantastic response so far gives them a real hope and belief that the target will be achieved.

Thank you all
