In 2017 Pied Piper celebrates 25 years of making a difference to the lives of sick and disabled children in the county.

Everybody who has read about Bradley Lowery's brave fight against a rare cancer called Neuroblastema will know how this brave little boy has fought against a terrible illness.

His story made me think about the young children who battle against similar adversity and disabling illnesses. Many do so somewhat anonymously but with the same courage as Bradley which is why I am raising funds for The Pied Piper Appeal to give those affected closer to home, hope of a brighter future and help to make their lives a little better.

This year I will be walking/running/cycling in a number of events and hoping to raise £1 for every event kilometre I complete through JustGiving along with some other fundraising activities such as Name the Teddy.

If you are still reading this then thank you and should you wish to donate, sponsor one of my events or simply get involved that would be great.
