I WOULD like to invite any readers wishing to stop smoking on National No Smoking Day on Wednesday, March 12, to take this life-changing challenge in aid of the Make-a-Wish Foundation UK.

The purpose of Make-a-Wish is simple -- to grant the favourite wishes of children aged three to 18 living with life-threatening illnesses. If anyone is willing to help "our" children and their families by sponsoring themselves to stop smoking, please phone 01276 24127 and quote ref: NW 0203 for your sponsorship form.

Thank you and best wishes.
