As a family we have been involved with a charity called Fulfil the Wish based in Bradford. They specialise in organising sightseeing and adventure trips for children with life limiting conditions. As they help us out a huge amount with William, and in an effort to give somthing back to them, I always give them a disk of images to use for publicity. Mary, the organiser, asked if I could enter two pictures for them into the National Council of Volunteer Organisations photo competition so I did

This one was picked out as Highly Commended and I am well chuffed :woot::woot::woot::banana::banana::banana:

You deserve to be well chuffed, it's a great image. Well done :clap:
 
Nice one :) and fair play. Proper work that is.

We have a daughter with CP, we fund raised independently for 2 years to take her to the States for surgery and post-op-physio and care. During that time I was pretty much the events photographer, some of my pics made tv and newpapers, felt great :)
 
Thanks peeps :thumbs:

Keith - how is your daughter now??????
 
Great photo. And it must have been slightly more difficult given the angle!

Got a link to the charity. This is the sort of think I like to support, as they go out of their way to get people doing stuff and showing disabled and none-disabled people that in this day and age very little is not possible if you have the right support. My Mum is a teacher in a school for children with disabilities, and the discrimination and lack of opportunity many of them have after that education is quite frankly disgusting.

Thanks very much :thumbs:

The charities ethos is very much on giving experiences, be that Disneyland Paris or outdoor adventure type stuff. They (and a whole host more of my pictures!!) can be found at http://www.fulfilthewish.org/
