YOU MIGHT have seen me appearing on the TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’ on Sunday evenings over the last few weeks – it really is a thrill for me to be taking part in the show and I have become incredibly enthusiastic about skating.
Something else I am very enthusiastic about is WellChild, the national charity for sick children and I am proud to be one of their celebrity ambassadors.
On behalf of the charity I would like to ask your readers for their support in finding as many of the country’s incredibly deserving children, young people, carers and healthcare professionals as possible for the 2011 WellChild Awards.
The WellChild Awards celebrate the truly remarkable and inspirational bravery of sick children and young people across the UK who cope with a serious illness.
The awards also highlight the amazing individuals who go the extra mile to make the lives of those sick children as happy and fulfilled as possible.
Nominations for the 2011 WellChild Awards are currently open and there is still time to get your nomination in now before the closing date of May 11.
I am sure many of your readers know people who vit into this category and would urge them to nominate them now by looking at the charity’s website at wellchild.org.uk or by calling 0845 458 8171.
Winners and their nominators will be invited to join celebrities at the annual WellChild Awards ceremony later in the year.
Thank you for your help.
LAURA HAMILTON WellChild Ambassador
