| Disco 3 to Mont Blanc for the Oxford Childrens Hospital |
|
Sorry to be a bit forward with this and if this post is in the wrong place please move, I have asked Martin before I posted this.
Please read this and spend a minute just to think about what families with ill children go through.
Our youngest son Ewan was born in Sept 2010, after about 6 months things really started to go wrong and our visits to the hospital became regular and more frequent. He is now about 21 months old and has been referred to Great Ormond Street from the Oxford Childrens Hospital, Ewan is still very ill and things are not getting better.
Together with 3 friends we are going to attempt to summit Mont Blanc, Western Europes highest mountain. Not sure if this or getting my 170,000Miles Disco 3 there will be harder but we are going to try. The challenge starts on the 11th August and will go on for the next week.
It would be great if you could have a look at our website, www.littlepeoplesbigchallenge.co.uk perhaps you could log onto the facebook page with the same name "Little Peoples Big Challenge" and like the page, you will get updates and help spread the word. There is a Just Giving Page if you can spare a few £££.s.
The important part is that you have a look and on my behalf spread the word about the brilliant work and support that the Oxford Childrens Hospital (JR to locals) does for families and sick children.
From all of my family, many thanks for reading this.
Gordon, Claire, Frasier & Ewan.

I think I'm right in saying that "sharing the link" is better than "like" on Facebook. More people see it on your profile.
Go to the page and click On down arrow near messages and it allows you to share the page SOLD - 23my Range Rover Sport D300 Dynamic SE

You are correct about sharing but if you like it updates will get to you and your friends can like it too. I think that both might be great.
Any help to spread the word is great.
Many thanks

A vain attempt at bumping this up but we do have just 10 days till we leave for the alps. If you can read the origional post and have a read of the facebook site and/or website www.littlepeoplesbigchallenge.co.uk
Many thanks and your support for the Oxford Childrens Hospital would be great.
You may want to look at the sponsors page on the website, there is an old friend on there that you will all recognise.
