MY husband and I would like to say a big thank you to Sharon and Bill, Gina and Tony, Elsie and Chris, for all their hard work collecting donations from shops in Redditch and Woodrow centre.

Many thanks to all the stores who kindly donated so many lovely things and also to John and Elaine for the use of the Jolly Farmer Pub and to Andy who gave so much to the appeal, and thank you for the kiddies' disco.

Shaun will get so much fun out of his new bike. After so many bad years with Shaun, from heart problems to a rare brain tumour witha slim chance of survival, to see him ride a bike is a dream we thought we'd never see.

It is so nice that there are so many caring people in Woodrow. Thank you.

Tracy, John and Shaun Cooke
