Help make a little girl’s wish come true!

Jo Oldham

The focus of this week’s show was on some of the people helping others in our community with various needs of one sort or another.

Firstly I chatted with Stuart Oldham as he watched his wife Jo set off on a 10k Spartan Race and assault course at Nutley in East Sussex to raise funds for a friend of their daughter Jessica. Lucy – who’s just 5, and lives in Billericay – has recently undergone chemotherapy and other treatment for Leukemia, and having come through what would be an incredible trauma at any age wants to have piano lessons, which inspired Jo to take part in the challenge to raise money to help. If you’d like to support her and help Lucy’s wish come true just text BREN14 £amount to 70070.

Listen again:

Donkey DerbyThere was a family connection with my studio guest, as Jo’s father Mac McAllister is President of the Lions Club of Brentwood, who are organising Jo’s fundraising for Lucy. Mac talked about next Sunday’s Donkey Derby in Stock, which promises to be great fun for the whole family whilst raising money not only for local charities but also other families and individuals who could do with a little support. Mac explained that the Lions are conscious that these sorts of events can put some families under financial pressure, so to help there’ll be a Kiddies’ Corner that will be completely free!

Mac also talked about the Lions’ other activities through the year and said they’re happy to welcome new members – although they are a male only group. For more details phone him on 01277 840645, or drop them a message via the website.
