Further to my earlier post:

Hi, ive just had an email from a mum whose kid attends a hospital (hes terminly ill), most of the cancer kids have centeral lines in and kids used to get a little bag to wear around their neck to keep the lumens (ends of the tubes) in which keeps them cleaner to try and avoid infection. How ever exceter hospital doesnt have anyone making any for them and they have run out so kids can't get one.

Would anyone be willing to make one or some? They are just a very simple bag with ribbon attached which can be worn around the neck, preferable in kiddie friendly fabric (or decorated maybe?)

As i said the hospitals desperate for some but havent found anyone to make some, so they have asked us if we can find somenoe.

They can be sent to

They have to be about 7cm by 16cm, but it doesn't matter as the children all come in different sizes anyway! But it's best to leave the ribbons long as then they can be trimmed if necessary. And it helps if they have a flap that fastens with velcro or a popper or something.

I've got a picture:

I have been a member of this forum for sometime now and have to say this is the best bargain I have ever come accross.

Our daughter Samantha was recently diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Stage 4 and the smile it gives her to receive something from the postman is priceless.

All the people at this charity have been so supportive and helpful to our family.

With Christmas coming up we all have the power to bring a smile to a childs face for little or no cost.

bumping up as it's such a good cause. It's been discussed again over on Competitions time.
