I would like you to keep Antonio, Caroline and baby Rico and their 2 little girls in your thoughts and prayers please.

With this tragic news, I have decided that whatever the amount that we will raise for my charity coffee morning on Saturday 17^th, half of the money will go to Antonio, so he can do something nice with his 2 little girls, such as taking them to the zoo etc.

Therefore please come on the 17^th. Have a coffee or cup of tea and some cake etc. You can treat yourself, a family member, or a friend to a 30 minutes complementary therapy treatment. Please if possible make your bookings for a treatment in the advance through me, or you can just turn up on the day and make your bookings? List of treatments are below.

Also, any donations that I received via post and via my website www.tonysweb.net up to 20^th will be split and half of it will go to Antonio.

List of treatments:

Mini Facials = £14

Reflexology = £12

Indian Head = £12

Eyebrow shape £8

Foot Massage = £8

Aroma Neck & Shoulders = £12

Mini Manicures = £10

Mini Pedicures = £10

On Saturday, 17 March 2012

At 10:30 until 18:00

Sharon Therese M.I.P.T.I and myself are doing a Pampering party and a charity coffee morning in the same place to help raise money for my new communication aid, which will be £5,377.

There is a big BUT! Because I had to send the new communication aid back and ask for a refund. Now I have to choose another communication aid from a different company. I have 3 in mind. One of them I had a demonstration of it this week. I was really impressed with it, but it will cost £5,277. It is called Tellus 4 and it has everything that I need. The others 2 are much cheaper, but I need to add extra equipment to them.

I have NOT decided yet, because the communication between these 3 different companies is slow at this end of Christmas. Also I have not got a refund yet, which I’m hoping to receive this week. When I get the refund I will post it on the website.

At the beginning of this year I got a PowerBox 7 on loan for 2 weeks and it worked well, and it worked with my radio switches and it was hi-tech. Also it was under £5,000, So I started fund raising for it and brought it in June, and what a biggest let down ever! I am so embarrass to go anyway now, because I got everyone involve with the fund raising, like the media, neighbours, local church and shops etc.

The company has now agreed to give me a full refund. I think it is disgusting and extremely disappointed with how they can build and sell a communication aid with so many hardware problems.

With help from Medical Physics Department in Canterbury they have got my old communication aid up and running again, so I got a portable voice when I go out and about.

With help from Medical Physics I am looking at other communication aids and hoping to choose a new communication aid, and I’m hoping it’s at the price. That is another reason why I chosen the PowerBox 7, because it was cheaper than other communication aids. I don’t want to ask the public again for more money.
I will keep you updated.

Thanks and God bless, Tony

Remember any money that is raised over the target will go to Find A Voice charity. Find A Voice supports children and adults who have a severe speech, language or communication difficulty, and who may require some form of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) support. This can include signing, symbols or a communication aid.

We have raised £4,860. WOW, WELL DONE EVERYONE! I really appreciated in everyone who helped. We really worked our socks off! I’m only waiting on one small donation, which I’m hoping to collect tomorrow.
In the last 2 weeks I have raised a cheque of £250 from the Star Of The East Hall who did my clairvoyance evening. Another cheque of £42.50 from Alice Maycock who did a sponsored silence for 6 hours at her college.

It has been a hard marathon with some highs and lows, but it has worth it! I’m glad that it is now over.

On my website www.tonysweb.net soon there will be a long list of Thank Yous.

Now you can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/TonyRobertCook

Thanks and God bless, Tony  

I’m still waiting for the cheque from the Star of the East Hall for my Clairvoyance evening, but it has been reported that the cheque could be £215 wow!

Alice Maycock is doing some fund raising at her collage (North West Kent College Dartford), which is brilliant news!

We have raised £4,567 so far! That is without including the outstanding cheque. I have a very strange feeling by Mid Oct we have reach the £5000 target!!!

As many of you may know that I already got the new communication aid. I just need now Environmental control system to help to control the lights etc, and I need a special made head switches which is being made as we speak.

Here is a photo of me and Brian Short from The Rotary Club Of Broadstairs with their cheque.

I would like to say thank you to Eric Mark and Brian Short from The Rotary Club for this cheque.
Eric did say the surname of this Jane from Vitalise, but I have forgotten it. Anyway, Thank you Jane so much!

I’m looking forward to tonight!!!
Thanks and God bless, Tony
