Many of you will know that My Shining Star was preceded by a magnificent fund-raising campaign spear-headed by Anita. This was in aid of sending my granddaughter Ruby Laura Young for private cancer treatment abroad if needed. So many childhood cancer families have been financially supported since and My Shining Star has a very special place in our hearts. Following life-saving heart surgery last year, grandad Pete (now 66) is doing a Coast to Coast Dad and Lad cycle challenge with his son David (aged 40). It’ll take them about a week, cover about 400 miles and finish at Lands End. Please sponsor them if you can and share their adventure with your friends on social media to help them reach their target. Unfortunately there may be photos of them in Lycra so I apologise in advance for that. Nanny Carrot 🥕
