I was lucky enough to be joined on stage at the Parabola Arts Centre by musician David Gibb - if you haven't yet encountered David touring one of his albums across the UK, do check out when he might be near you. His family shows are the BEST FUN, with toe-tapping, catchy music you'll be singing aaaall week!
​
HUGE THANKS to David for making the show so special! Thanks also to all the families who came to join the fun, to Cheltenham Festivals for having us, to Andersen Press for organising (I'll miss you, Harriet) and to Jeremy for the diva-style lift in the rain.

Gemma and the team at WHY We Hear You (who provided clinical insight and organised the launch party - watch this space), Maria, Tanya and Dee at Walker Books (who gave Cata and Tim a place to meet, a sounding board and a vote of confidence), Emily Lamm at Orchard Books (who sense-checked the text early on and suggested some wise changes), Dr Konrad Jacobs (who has provided some invaluable information for the book's users), to journalists like Charlotte Eyre who got behind us and helped spread the word, and to all of you who donated, shared and showed your support along the way (special shout outs to Steven Lenton, David Roberts and Cole Henley who sold art for the cause - thank you, chaps!). Thanks also to my family to bearing with me through a couple of crazy busy months.

I know I will have forgotten someone in my thank you list - sincere apologies; I have a nagging feeling...! I'll come back and update it when I remember who I've forgotten. Please forgive me.

It's been a wonderful, humbling, exhausting and thoroughly worthwhile project. The book has come out in time to help a couple of Lisa's contacts who have been given devastating prognoses in the last few days. The crowd fund has purchased HUNDREDS of copies that are being sent out free of charge to charities, hospices and families. The entire team hope the books will continue to bring at least a small degree of comfort to many families in the years to come.
