Hello everyone,

In April I will be embarking on a Wing Walk
for My Shining Star Children’s Cancer Charity. This is not a walk while eating
chicken wings as I previously thought but I will be standing on top of a plane
as it takes off, airborne flight and landing!

Myself and a brave group of volunteers will
be fundraising for our Charity of the Year charity voted for by all our teams
at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors.

Many of us are privileged to be parents to
our wonderful kids and realise that it’s only by luck that we are fortunate
enough to have healthy children.

Unfortunately this isn’t always the case for many
families and children who go through heart breaking situations day to day when
a child is diagnosed with cancer. Fundraising for this charity is a real eye
opener at the significant impact cancer has on not only on the child diagnosed,
but on the whole family.

The Charity is made up of  trustees are mainly volunteers that use their
skills and expertise to make a difference. Their motto is, “it takes a village’
please help us to be part of that village.

The implications of a cancer diagnosis in a child
is enormous and far reaching. There is often a huge emotional and financial
impact on the whole family. Your money will allow My Shining Star to come
alongside these families at this traumatic time. Please help me and donate
whatever you can to support such a wonderfully important local Charity in Kent.
