I’ve been following Lisa Lynch’s progress for some time now and I often feel that all of the things people say about me – well, the nice things anyway, inspirational and all of its friends – should more rightly be applied to her.

Especially when it turns out, she doesn’t want presents for her birthday! Gasp! (For the record: if I ever tell you I don’t want a present, I’m lying. I do. Very much.)

Please, please, read her post here, (‘A birthday wish’) and then, if you can, make a donation to Trinity Hospice on her behalf here. Let’s send a bit of Bah! spirit her way. If we all put a fiver in, we’d make a massive difference to the quality of Lisa’s life, and the lives of many others.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

(If you’re trying to think of where you heard Lisa’s name, she wrote ‘The C-Word’ and she blogs at alrighttit.)
