Hi there!

My name is Toby Greenall and in 5 weeks I am running the London Marathon. This madness is all in aid of CLIC Sergeant’s Home from Home “Billy’s Appeal”. 

Billy is my cousin and a few years ago he was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumour, a cancer that then spread to his lungs from his kidney, at the age of 3 1/2. After 18 months of gruelling treatment including chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy he managed to pull thorough and has finally got the “all clear”.

We are helping raise money to create a Home from Home in Nottingham. The Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, is a specialist paediatric oncology centre for children. It was this hospital that Billy had to visit for his treatment. For Billy it was dreadful but it was the balance of maintaining a ‘normal’ family life that was so difficult and draining for all involved. CLIC Sargent is a unique charity that gives families all the support they need to care for a child with cancer. Trained professionals are on hand to help, advise and financially support every family affected by childhood cancer in the UK.

In many regions CLIC Sargent Home from Homes are available free of charge to all families who have a child diagnosed with cancer. The financial strain placed on a family travelling many miles for treatment each day, not to mention the practicalities associated with caring for other siblings mean the overall emotional pressure is immense. A place where the whole family can be together, away from the confines of the ward but within walking distance of the hospital in case anything goes wrong is crucial.
It would be amazing if you could give anything at all to the Appeal. 

Just go to https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/billysappeal and give whatever you can. 

Thanks so much!

 Hey can you please help?I have struggled with many trials including a near death experience last summer. It was caring people who brought me to reiki(healing energy) as well as Kimmie Rose who taught me hypnotherapy. These had such an impact on my life and healing process I have dedicated my life to healping others with life threatening illnesses.

You might want to take a look to this video "KDBC vs KVIA on CNN" on youtube, it's fun to see 2 local news vans from El Paso TX competing each other on a drag track, one of drivers (KDBC) get fired but the guy from KVIA was supported by his boss how realises it was an immature action considering the fact of a fatal tragedy a night before on that area, but not enough reason to fire his employ

I thing it was unplanned but very creative to put this two competitors on a race, those are the kind of things people enjoy.

Conan Obrien,

                      Iam a great fan of your show, been watching it for the past 5 yrs now. I like the fact that it is truly spontaneos and weathered the writer's strike. As an avid fan of the show I wanted to post some jokes and will be honored if he happens to notice.

 1) With the latest advances of nanotechnology, the friction from the clothes we wear can be used to generate electric power, which can charge mobile electronic devices such as an ipod. The more the rustle from the  clothes the more eletric power they generate. That means we are not far off from a day when we will witness geeks roaming around wearing cheap suits.

2) Google has come up with a new project and would award 20 million dollars to whoever can develop a space shuttle that will revolve around moon for 500 metres and return back. When asked they said the significance of the project is to make common man go places they have never been to and have never dreamt of. In a related statement other search engines, said that they already send common man to unknown places when the "common man" clicks on the popup windows in their websites.

Thanks
