Thank Yous!

This page is to thank people who have helped us so far. There will never be any way that I will be able to name everyone who has helped, so please don't be offended it you are not mentioned by name!

First and very importantly, my family, who have supported me in this and (almost!) everything. This includes 'adopted' family in Dorset, Cambridge and Belarus. You know who you are!

Tom who has donated clothes and lots of his toys.

The families in Cambridge who have helped, through donating items and money and also feeding me when I have been too busy to remember to do it myself! Families in particular include the Hinks, the Sparrowhawks , the Hietts (although only via Cambridge, not actually resident!), Anna Marcus and family and Katie Hawks. Holly Picket and Coleridge school who made such an overwhelming donation! Also, the people who I know through EACH who have helped, especially Barbara Taylor and Bernard Wilson. The manager of the Nature Reserve, in the Grafton Centre, for saving boxes for us to transport donated items in.

The EACH children's hospice at Milton has donated loads of nappies and some beautiful quilted blankets, amongst other things, so thank you to everyone there, especially Debbie. Linda Scott and the 38th Cambridge Guides have helped us with fund-raising, in a fun way! Sarah and the staff at Ipswich Hospital have been fantastic - especially for putting up with me talking about the charity all the time! They have been very good at helping me source medical equipment.

There are many people in Dorset who have been hugely supportive, despite me not getting back there to thank them properly! Sara and Rowan Fraser, the Davies, the staff at Clark's shoe shop, the Lambournes, Anne, Lynne, Cris and Chrissy, the Nyes, the Moxhams, the Symes and the Tidds. Also to All Saints School and Mrs. Port, who got me all into it in the first place - you have a lot to answer for!

Callum, Marshall and Adelaide Davies helping my mum to pack the car to bring all their donated clothes up to Cambridge. There were a lot!

Thank you to Pizza Hut on Regnent Street in Cambridge for supporting our launch party by donating many pizzas that were enjoyed by everyone present! They have always been very generous in helping with any local events that I have organised in the past. Their website is at www.pizzahut.co.uk.

Fantasy FA Cup is a popular online football predictions game which has now been running for ten years. Since 2005 the site's owner Matt Mayer, who studied at the same college as me and has helped with various things for the charity, has donated 25% of all advertising revenue to Bridges to Belarus. This is incredibly generous of him and we very much appreciate it.

CCP have played a huge role in making it all possible, so deserve a huge 'thank you'! Their website can be found at www.chernobyl-children.org.uk.

We couldn't have put on the recent Art for the Children exhibition without all the kind help of Sue Binns and Michaelhouse Cafe. www.michaelhouse.org.uk.

Also thanks to Debbie at Bridge Farm Riding School who has allowed us to use many images of her horses to create items for sale and donated riding lessons for various raffles. http://www.bridgefarmschool.co.uk.
