I WANT to thank Fred Shawcross (BEN, September 7) for his excellent article about the efforts made on behalf of little Nathan Howarth and the way he contrasted the appeal with the insanity which seems to surround us ever more significantly as the days go by.
I admit I was pleased by Fred's kind comments about me, but what gave the article so much impact was his excellent overview of the situation.
When we consider that close on £700,000,000 has been blown on that big, daft tent in Greenwich, yet only £4,000,000 on prostate cancer research. And Nathan needs just £50,000 for his treatment.
Yes, Fred, you ARE right. The world is going dafter by the minute and I just wish the people who could do something about it got to read your column.
