Could  you also take 1 moment to read the following about Joss Parkes.  My good friends lost their son Joss at the beginning of the year to a brain tumour.  Many of you may recall this video below I shared with you over a year ago of Joss playing drums.
Joss was the longest known child survivor of a brainstem glioma. He was given just weeks to live in 2005. Joss’s parents with the help of complementary therapies, prayer and maybe a fair degree of luck, managed to give Joss a happy fulfilled life for nearly another six years.
I am proud to be a trustee of a new charity called Joss Searchlight set up in Joss’s name, with the aim of supporting children and families where a brain tumour has been diagnosed.
In these difficult financial times, fund raising is hard.  If you are moved by Joss’s story, and feel you can help, we’d be grateful for a donation or a small purchase from our website at www.jossparkessearchlight.org.uk
Thank you and Merry Christmas from all of us at Ultimate Eurythmics.
