I HAVE been helping with Nathan Howarth's fund-raising for several months and have just started the monumental task of writing to every company and organisation in our area asking for donations.
I realise it will take several months to complete, as there are so many companies to write to.
Could I ask that people give as generously as possible? I know that we are bombarded with worthy causes every day, especially at this time of year, but Nathan is a local lad and we can see the results of our efforts.
The appeal cannot get help from the National Lottery or Children in Need -- we have already explored those possibilities.
At times it is very frustrating trying to fund-raise, but I know that Bolton people are big-hearted and will help us.
Any companies or organisations that receive our letter, I would just ask them to donate whatever they can, and let's get Nathan the life-saving treatment he so deserves.
Many thanks.
