AS a result of the appeal we made last year for used postage stamps, foreign coins, supermarket reward cards, and other items of value to us, we had an absolutely amazing response from the kind readers of this newspaper, for which The British Kidney Patient Association and the young patients who benefited send heartfelt thanks.

This year with your help, we have been able to give more than 40 young kidney patients a much-needed week of fun and excitement, and we would dearly love to be able to carry on providing these very important holidays.

Please, we beg you during the coming festive season to help us continue to make some dreams come true for these very special youngsters.

Thank you and a Very Happy Christmas to you all.
