Million Pound Challenge is now on!!

Dear readere
I have set myself a target of raising a large sum for a charity called WYCE
If you click on the website you will see why I have chosen this awesome charity.........................................
www.wonderyearsce.co.uk
I AM HUMBLED WITH THE WORK ALREADY DONE
I WANT TO SEE IT GROW THROUGHOUT OTHER VILLAGES AND I KNOW THAT EACH PENNY MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO THE PEOPLE IN MEDINA BECAUSE IT GOES STRAIGHT INTO THIS FANTASTIC PROJECT

I had a lovely surprise today when a close friend of mine emailed to say he was going to be making out a standing order form for a regular donation each month. With acts such as this we are starting to build up a way of sustaining this charity for a long time to come. Not only that, we will be able to ensure the work grows.
When I emailed back to say "Thank you" and explained what he had done this is the response I got back
Hi Lynn
I am blown away by the difference that makes. There is tears in my eyes reading what you wrote.
I will fill the forms out and get them back to you tomorrow.
I know that this is the way forward for WYCE and as my commitment to this charity I am aiming to get people who will set up a standing order for a small amount each month.
Any sum of money can be donated and will make such a huge difference to the lives of the people of Medina...................... for example £6 pounds is enough to pay for a cataract operation and renew a persons sight!!

I cannot thank you enough for reading this. If you feel you can help in person or know someone who may be prepared to help, I will be thrilled to hear from you, I will then send you all the information and forms needed to get started
The gift aid form allows us as a charity an extra twenty five percent of the amount of your donation without you having to do anything
Thank you once again
warm regards
Look forward to hearing from you

help needed with book publicity and promotion

http://www.leanmarketingpress.com/frogs
hi I wonder if someone could helpI am looking for book promotion / publicity for my autobiography "Cut the Strings" foreward written by Sir Chris BoningtonI decided it was time to tell my story in the hope it would help others, A third of the roylaties from sales go towards my goal of raising eleven thousand pounds to build This is the true story of one woman's courage in the face of a life full of pain. Abused by her father, bullied at school and neglected by her mother, Lynn Grocott's childhood was a waking nightmare. As an adult, tormented and haunted by her youth, her life went from bad to worse. She was eventually admitted to a psychiatric ward after facing the suicide of both parents. Somehow Lynn crawled back but fate was relentless in its cruelty... She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and virtually wasted away as she battled to overcome Anorexia Nervosa. Yet despite all that life has thrown at her Lynn is an achiever. She's been able to turn things around, reclaim her soul and live life as a winner, fulfilling lifelong dreams and raising money for charity. This is a story that will at times shock and apall you. But beyond that it reminds us all that we have the power to emerge from even life's darkest challenges as stronger and happier human beings. Praise... "How can you respond to your own 'bad luck' and 'misfortune' to turn it around? In this very personal story and guidebook, Lynn Grocott shares what she's learned as one of life's less-than-lucky adventurers to make the path a little more passable for those who follow."- Sir Chris Bonington "Lynn is an example to us all as to how to face adversity and embrace change. Her book is a living testimony to how resiliant the human spirit can be when given the right motivation. Her story is one that needs to be told - and heard."- David Hyner, The Authority on High Achievers "I know Lynn. Shes the most remarkable survivor Ive ever met or heard of. And this short and easy-to-read book is a testimony to the triumph of the human spirit over whatever trials we might face in life."- Joe Armstrong, Journalist, Author, Publishera mother and baby unit in Cameroon
