Say Hello Campaign thanks 4BR readers

The 'Say Hello to Edward' has thanked 4BR and its readers for their wonderful support for their Christmas Campaign.

Edward
 

The ‘Say Hello to Edward' Campaign has revealed that thanks to the efforts of 4BR and its readers in supporting their charity over Christmas, that over £4,300 was raised to help suffers of the rare condition of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Never Say Goodbye

The release of the single ‘Never Say Goodbye’ written by Paul Lovatt-Cooper was a real success and although it didn’t quite make it to the top of the pop charts (the Christmas market place if full to the brim with new releases) their Facebook Group now has near to 8,000 members and their website has received close to 1 million visits.

None of this would have been possible were it not for people like you and the efforts you made to support this causeShane Hamill & Rich Clayton

Bottom of our hearts

Shane Hamill and Rich Clayton told 4BR: "None of this would have been possible were it not for people like you and the efforts you made to support this cause. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your contribution has truly made a difference to the lives of Edward, his family and all of those affected by Duchenne."

You can still support his wonderful charity by going to the website: www.SayHelloToEdward.com
