My story

 

STOP! If you are donating for Geoff Betts Song to Jessica Taylor... Please go to the link for her current fundraising efforts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!  http://www.justgiving.com/jessicataylormediarooms2

Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for Jessica Taylor Media Rooms. Jessicas Grandad Derek set up this campaign to support Kamrans ward at John Radcliffe Childrens Hospital. They want to equip rooms with computers for teenagers with cancer and other serious illnesses in order that they can stay in contact with freinds, family and school.

Jessica Taylor is a brave and beautiful 13 year old diagnosed with a brain tumour on August 1st 2007, she has been my daughter's (also called Jessica) best friend since she was 4 years old, and the two are inseparable. Amongst the many activities of friends and family, Jessica Watkins cut her long hair off on 28th November to raise money, as well as to support her friend as they regrow their hair together. The picture is taken on the day of the haircut, and as Jessica Taylors hair has started to grow back, she is keen to remind Jessica Watkins that the race is on.

The hair cut off was 17 inches long and has gone to the Little Princesses charity that makes wigs for children.

This fund raising will ensure that teenagers who are affected by cancer have contact with the outside world during lonely treatment times, and you can help by donating online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds (Jessica Taylor Media Rooms, Kamrans Ward) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please donate to our charity now!

Many thanks for your support.
