I have just found this one and ordered as a gift for a family member. Its for kids a bit closer to home living with Cancer. Having 3 healthy kids, I can't imagine what parents must go through, but every little helps.

We normally do a secret santa at work and buy a gift for someone for a tenner. I'm going to suggest we all buy a teddy from this site for a tenner instead. Thanks for the details.

I was thinking about this, opinions please. My sister in law had cervical cancer at 28 (9 years ago) and as a result had to have a hysterectomy so she has no children. The cancer hasnt returned as far as we know. My brother in law is football mad so do you think if I bought a child a football from this cancer charity that it would be appropriate? Would it upset them or would they be pleased, I'm not sure

Maybe I'm invisible?

i think a football is a great idea - i was going to say if you're not sure about the cancer charity you could buy one from presentaid instead, but i can only find a basketball on their site so i feel like a muppet now

lol, thanks jellyhead. I'm still not sure about it, will ask MIL as she knows them better than me.
