Mothers' Day gift can help

As a mother and a patron of CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading children's cancer charity, I am writing to encourage your readers to support children with cancer and their families this Mothers' Day by buying a CLIC Sargent friendship bracelet and Mothers' Day card from Tesco.

Tesco hopes to raise £65,000 for CLIC Sargent through the sale of cards and bracelets. This money will help families of children with cancer to stay together when the unimaginable happens.

This money will help CLIC Sargent continue to help fund services and support for the 10 children and young people diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia every day in the UK.

In addition to the friendship bracelets and cards CLIC Sargent is also selling Yummy Mummy Merchandise on its website www.clicsargent.org.uk/yummymummy There is a range of gifts to choose from, including mugs, T-shirts and aprons - all of which would make excellent gifts this Mothers' Day.
