Hello
Andrew Gosden went missing from his home in Doncaster on 14 September 2007, age 14. He was last seen getting off a train at King's Cross the same day. He had just £200 with him.
Missing People is a charity that provides support for missing children, adults and families left behind. They work tirelessly offering advice and support to those dealing with friends or family who have gone missing, securing publicity to try to help bring people back together and run a nationwide free confidential phone service for people who have run away or been forced to leave home and need someone to speak to.
With less than a week to go I have decided to run the 10k 'Miles For Missing People' in Hyde Park on Saturday 13 March on behalf of Funeral For A Friend to help raise awareness of Andrew's disappearance, and hopefully funds for the charity.
Andrew loves rock music and Funeral For A Friend is one of his favourite bands. If every FFAF fan registered as a friend or fan of the band on Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Twitter, Last.fm or any of the other social networking sites donated even just £1 the charity would raise a huge sum of money towards helping support people like Andrew, his parents and his family who haven't seen him for 2 and a half years.
Here is a photo of Andrew when he went missing. Some photos here have been age-enhanced to show how he might look today. Andrew is 5' 3", needs strong prescription glasses and is deaf in one ear. Watch a BBC London news clip about Andrew here.
If you know Andrew or think you've seen him out at a show, or if you've seen any other missing person, please call Missing People confidentially on 0500 700 700 to let them know.
Thanks for your support.
