I did the same, but got quite a poor response - they just said they weren't in a position to help. Did you get any response?

Thank you so much to you both! x

Hi all, I'm hoping some of you would like to help me. The company I work for (we're a business transfer agent called Bruce & Co) are raising money for a children's charity called Rays of Sunshine. The charity grant special 'wishes' for seriously ill children. We've decided to raise money for a little boy called Daniel. He's only 8 and suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which is a fatal muscle wasting disease that affects 1 in every 3,500 male children. Daniel's condition has now deteriorated so much that he can't walk without a wheelchair, and there is no cure. Although Daniel's condition means he has a short life expectancy he wants to be a football commentator when he grows up. He loves football and his favourite footballer is Torres. Last year Daniel wrote to Torres to tell him about his condition and Liverpool arranged for Daniel to meet him, but sadly Torres was transferred to Chelsea the day before the meeting and it was never re-arranged. Daniel then wrote to the charity Rays of Sunshine to ask them to grant his 'wish' to see Chelsea play and meet Torres. Daniel's wish costs £1,250, and the company I work for are trying to raise the money. If we can raise the money Daniel and his family will travel from their home in Edinburgh where Daniel will spend the day having a tour of Stamford Bridge, watch a match and meet Torres. We've set up a Just Giving account and are asking for donations wherever we can think of, as well as doing lots of fundraisers at our office. The Just Giving link is here: http://www.justgivin...-Raysofsunshine Obviously if anyone would like to donate that would be fantastic, but I do understand lots of people won't be able to. However, if you could help us promote our fundraising I would be incredibly grateful- on Twitter or Facebook or anything else you can think of. If you got this far then thank you for taking the time to read this. And thank you if you're willing to help. If you would like any more information there's an article here: http://bruceandco.tu...el-can-meet-his or our company website is http://www.bruceandco.co.uk Thank you again, Laura x
