Important request from Andrew

We had a meeting with his medical team today. One of the things they suggested was for us to provide photographs with some background information to help the occupational therapists. If people can send me a photo with some notes, I will print them off and print the notes on the back. These can be funny/humorous times, photos of Adam at school or with the children, fund raising, playing sport etc.
If it represents an important memory to you it will probably be the same for him.
I know there are lots of pictures on this site and they will be invaluable in the future, but they do not all have the context or backgroung.

Thanks to everyone who turned up in the rain to our Afternoon Tea Party, you kind and generous people raised £1400 plus -the amounts from the secret Promises Auction are still coming in. It was 'fantastic' in spite of the rain.

Adam moves...

Andrew Pickles

Adam has now been move from the HDU to a general ward. The nursing staff believe that Adam hearing different voices from friends is a great help so if anyone wants to visit, please message me and I will let you have the ward details.
We have a meeting with the medical team this Friday and post details of this over the week end.

Messages for Adam please

Neil Clappison

We want to start stimulating Adam with familiar voices, sounds (& smells!) - we'd really like it if all of Adam's friends around the world recorded short messages for him. The easiest way to do this is to record it on a smartphone & then email it to us as an mp3 at donatetoadam@hotmail.com

If you have an iPhone you can use this app:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microphone-pro/id389797225?mt=8

If you use an Android phone you can use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yuku.mp3recorder.lite&hl=en

Please leave us any details in the email about how you know Adam and any specific things you want us to tell him before playing him the message.

Plummet for Pickles

Richard Berry

Only three weeks on Saturday until I Plummet for Pickles. Thanks to all my family and friends in England who've sponsored me to the tune of £325. I'll pay for the jump myself so every penny of your donations will go to the Pickles fund. If anyone else would like to sponsor me let me know. You can pay me in person or make a transfer to the Adam Pickles fundraising account.

Thanks a lot.
