SURPRISE, Surprise! It's me, Cilla, hoping you can help us give deserving children an unforgettable day and help to save young lives.

Just £10 will sponsor a child with special needs to attend the Amazing Great Children's party on July 8. The youngsters will be looked after by hundreds of volunteers and dozens of celebrities.

Since all the food, toys, entertainment and everything else needed for the party are donated, your sponsorship will go directly towards the treatment and welfare of leukaemic children. So the more youngsters you are able to send to the Party, the more you will contribute to the fight.

If you are able to help, please send a donation to me. Together, we could make this year's party the best ever.
