Informal
Chat and Sail Day 2009
Saturday
August 1st Swarkestone Sailing Club
The
day was a huge success for two families with very
young children affected by FAP. It was the first time
we had had the chance ourselves to hear the special
problems this presents. Also how the families were
trying to find information and help their child understand
both the present and the future. Not the best of days
weather wise but it was possible later on for those
interested to enjoy a trip in the rescue boats. Also
enjoying the ride were members of The Swadlincote
and District Round Table who recently completed their
own Cheap Car Challenge and raised around £2,000
for FAP Gene. |

youngster puts Mick to shame

Of
course Jimby and Cousin Jed have to get in
on the act. However they did help look after
the children. The other 20 who live with Mick
stayed at home but Jimby wanted to add this
to his own website www.jimby.me.uk
