Hello Caitlin
ReplyDeleteI have just read your plan to walk coast to coast, a distance of 220 miles. What a fantastic thing to do - and to do this to help blind and partially sighted people is amazing. Thank you.
I am so glad your Great Aunt Ruth enjoyed the Talking Book Service. The service is a lifeline to thousands of people across the country and so your plan to sponsor a talking book will not only help keep the memory of your Great Aunt alive you'll also bring the joy of reading back thousands of others.
As soon as you complete your walk please contact me and we'll choose a great book for your Great Aunt.
Whenever you and your family are in London maybe you would like to visit the Talking Book Studios and meet some of the talking book narrators. Perhaps we can talk about that when you contact me?
So come on everyone help Caitlin do this amazing thing by sponsoring her. Caitlin is right, your help will make HUGE difference!
Only a few days to go - so good luck
