General I am a long time lurker and a first time poster to your thread. After reading about Luke's appeal for Acorns at Home on the official site, I had to write. Earlier this year I was made redundant from my job in financial services. The current turmoil means that there are few opportunities at my level and the short term is very worrying. Tonight my wife and I were discussing how bad things might get, after watching a couple of rather bleak documentaries on the outlook for UK Plc. Then I looked at the official site and read about the appeal. I saw the picture of Martin Laursen holding Luke Webster, the little boy with a life limiting illness, and I thanked God for my health, the health of my wife, and the health of my children. That image has brought a tear to my eye this evening, and of course a rather large dose of perspective. Thanks to you, to Randy and to the club for the amazing work that you do at our football club and for reminding me in particular that no matter how bad things can look sometimes, good health is a gift that we should all cherish.
