Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm hoping to raise funds to support Mencap, a much needed charity who assists those with learning disabilities.

My two youngest children both have learning disabilities. Thankfully, they've had help and support, and I'd like to give back by helping others who are in a similar situation.

I've created a children's book featuring my children, called The Eve of Christmas Eve, which will be on sale on Amazon from the 3rd November 2025, and all profits from the sales will be donated to Mencap.

I've also fimed a reading of the story by the wonderful actor Mr Brian Bovell, who didn't hesitate to donate his time to this cause - THANK YOU BRIAN! Please see the video here, or on the Facebook page...

Why a target of £1995? 1995 was the year of the passing of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in the UK - it would be fantastic to achieve this target to reflect such a significant year.

If you purchase the book... A HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU!

If you watch the reading... please donate if you can. Any amount, big or small, it will be greatly appreciated and... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

If you do both? YOU'RE A HERO!!

Gary
