Final shout for this, I make no apologies for posting again. So proud of my 9 yr old, if anyone can share, publicise or donate he would be very grateful. 10k, nightime walk tomorrow for Shelter: justgiving.com/fundraising/s…
My lad has always been unable to walk past a homeless person without being in tears and always insists we donate, even offers his pocket money. Hes now decided to do more. If anyone can spare a little to help or even just retweet, he’d be very grateful justgiving.com/fundraising/s…
I think I may be a genius. I did an online IQ test the other day and when I submitted it the page took absolutely ages to load then told me I had scored 505.
