Our personal message:

Naresh Kohli from Microsoft and his buddy David Scott from Possum completed a channel crossing with a difference when they cycled puncture free from London to Paris to raise much-needed funds for Leonard Cheshire Disability on 26 - 28 June.

Naresh and David were only be able to communicate via an AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) device.  This tested them both physically and mentally so please support us by donating as much as you can. Every penny donated will be match funded by Microsoft!  This means that a £20 donation will attract another £20 from Microsoft and could get another £6 GiftAid!!!  Your £20 becomes £46!


What price would you place on your ability to communicate?
Please give generously!

Thank you and look out for the weblog via www.possum.co.uk
