Terrific opportunity for UK cancer kids

Julie Dugan from Bournemouth, UK, writes:

I volunteer at a local charity in Bournemouth called the Youth Cancer Trust. It is a small charity that gives free holidays to young people with cancer.

I spent time one evening this week "babysitting" 4 teenage boys - 2 with cancer (each had brought a friend) it amazed me how they were so matter of fact about their tumours. I am sure that if I ask Brenda the wonderful lady who founded the charity (in memory of her daughter who died at the age of 21) she would have have some good jokes from the youngsers. I will forward them to you.

If you have a moment they have a website - it is http://www.yct.org.uk.

If you come across any young people who you feel would benefit please do not hesitate to contact me or the charity. My next big task for them is a "marketing" campaign to get more young people to the house. Fundraising has been going well - so they are able to offer more places now!

Please support Julie, Brenda and Co as much as you can - especially if you're based in the Bournemouth area.

And for our daily funny?

Well, while we're on the topic of kids, let's share this useful Q & A about pregnancy and childbirth. Once again, thanks to the original author whoever s/he may be...
