As many of you know I have now been to Greece 6 times to help support Syrian refugees. These are ordinary people just like you and me: families with small children and new born babies, teenagers desperate to continue their studies, young men and women with dreams of bright, successful futures. Humans with stories to tell and love to give.

Ask yourself: what if it was me? What if it was my family?

With the war in Syria continuing, this plight is now old news, and the people of Syria, both those displaced and STILL living in shocking conditions in makeshift refugee camps and those left behind in the war ravaged zones, eking out an existence with the constant threat of death hanging over them, are all forgotten about by us. Mainstream media won't take notice again until we have another travesty like that of little Alan Kurdi, the three year old boy whose body washed up on the shores of the Agean coastline in 2016.

Those who have been lucky enough to escape the civil war in their beloved home country are now facing a new devastation: packed in to unsanitary, dark, cold, unsafe makeshift camps. Mothers trying to keep their babies warm, fathers trying to keep their toddlers safe, people bored, frustrated, sad, and hopeless. I know - I've seen these camps with my own eyes numerous times.

So I am asking you to please donate a few Pounds so that I can help support those in need. You money will be spent on food (we will be making fresh vegetable packages and delivering to the camps to help people get vital nutrients, particularly vital when they are living in the elements), clothing, medicines, emergency accommodation for those most in need, and anything else we deem necessary to ease the suffering and try and bring smiles and warmth.

Rest assured my entire trip is self funded, from flights, to accommodation to my own food. So every single penny you donate will be put to this incredibly worthy cause.

If 200 people gave me £5, I'd reach my target. If 100 people gave me £10, my target would be hit in no time! So please donate what you can and ask your loved ones to donate a few quid too.

Thank you so very much for your support, as always, and for reading this.
