Graeme, I've sent
in a request for you to be an Olympic torch bearer, as you
do go the extra mile for everyone, I doubt if anything will
come of it, but I thought you should be recognised for the
work you do for the Kids of Chernobyl and kids in general :
) I saw the advert in today's Herald but if you do get the
opportunity and don't want to do it then I'm sure you can
turn it down. I just wanted you to know you are appreciated
for what you've done over the years.

It was great to be involved in the fundraising for your trip
along with my fellow workers at the Royal Bank Of Scotland.
Well done for all the great work you do for these children,
look forward to seeing your next DVD on your trip.
Linda Whitehead, Royal Bank of Scotland HQ, Edinburgh
Good luck Graeme. I was fortunate enough to take part and
win your golf charity day at Elfordleigh. I take my hat off
to you, you are one in a million and I hope that Plymouth is
as proud of you as I am. There are not many people in this
world who would give up their work unpaid for a month to do
what you are doing. Jill is a brick and I know that she
enjoys it when you both play host to one of these
unfortunate children each year. If you have not visited
Graeme's website, then it is not to be missed. It brings me
to tears each time I watch the faces of these children smile
by such simple things as the fantastic balloons you make for
them. We wish you a safe and enjoyable trip and look forward
to reading your trip report on your return. If there is any
TV companies reading this, then give him a camcorder to
record his trip, I am sure his reports would be well worth
watching. Plymouth - get behind Graeme - he his is a great
ambassador for Plymouth.

What can we say - Jill and Graeme are just FANTASTIC, a true
inspiration to us all! We know Graeme is going to do a
wonderful job in Belarus, the scale of the Children's care
is difficult to imagine, both in the hospitals and
orphanages - by Graeme going to Belarus and visiting as many
children as he can will make a big difference to their
little lives. A little balloon will make a BIG Smile!! The
Chernobyl Children's Life Line - Plymouth Link are very very
proud of Graeme - We know it is going to be a very testing
and emotional trip - but on the up side a very
heart-warming, rewarding one!! Good Luck Graeme - we are
right behind you and will be thinking of you!! Also keeping
an eye on your diary! I wish there were more people like you
in the world!!

Billy Wiz is an inspiration in today's society, he takes his
time with the support from his family to make a difference
to these children. Its not many of us in this day and age,
who can say that! I have seen the children's faces "light
up" when he comes into the room as they know he will give
each and everyone of them his full attention and enthral
them in whatever magic trick he performs. Billy Wiz spends
effort and time raising money for these unfortunate children
but never complains and always wants to give more. I think
we all could do with taking 5 mins to visit his website and
give something for the Make a Smile appeal and make another
child smile!

Hello Graeme, It sounds like you are a great help to a lot
of people & I wish you all the best for your visits to
Belarus.
Daniel McCullough, Preston, Lancashire
My family and I would like to use this opportunity to tell
Graeme how proud we are of him and all of his efforts in
bringing smiles to some very sad faces. It can be upsetting
to see the pictures let alone at first hand. When i see
pictures of Graeme I take great pride in telling people
"that's MY brother" good luck for the trip. x x from Jane +

Hi Graeme. As a fellow magician, I am really proud of the
way you use your talent and skill to make a difference to
these kids. It's amazing the way that you balance your
personal & professional life and the way that you keep
smiling!! You've done magicians proud and Plymouth proud.
Well done buddy!!!!
Chris 'Coolmagic' Edwards, Plymouth
Myself and family are a host family for the Chernobyl
children. It is the best thing we have ever done. Graeme is
brilliant and is so devoted to these children and bringing a
smile to their faces. Goodluck on your trip Graeme.
Anita Hannaford, Plymouth
I think it is great what you are doing I hope all goes well,
my friend looks after some children from Belarus for a
couple of weeks a year, I learnt so much about what these
kids have to cope with. Keep up the good work.
Dave Hickory, Wiltshire
Keep up the good work, it is an excellent cause and I
applaud your efforts. I am sure you bring a ray of sunshine
and happiness to these children's lives. Well done
John Hunter-Haschka, Surrey
I have seen pictures of some of the children visited on
previous trips and I can tell you that Graeme brings out
their smiles. Keep it up Graeme you're doing a tremendous
job.
Rob Slater, Worcester
IT IS A GREAT PITY THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE SAME
INSPIRATION THAT THIS GENTLEMAN HAS, HE IS DOING A WONDERFUL

Excellent work Graeme - loads of luck for the tour. Such a
great cause.
Mark, London
Go for it Graeme, I am truly humbled by your efforts to
bring sunshine and fun into these childrens desperate lives.
You, Jill and everyone else involved in your trips are a
real inspiration to all of us. Good luck and have fun
twisting all them balloons!
Stuart Hodgson, Penrith, Cumbria
What an inspiration to everyone! Not many people are
prepared to give up so much personal time and money. Graeme
does a fantastic job in bringing a smile to these
unfortunate children. The Make a Smile Appeal and The
Chernobyl Children's Life Line - Sunflowers, do so much work
to help these children - both are very worthwhile charities
- take 5 mins out of your day and have a look at their
websites. Well done Graeme - keep up the good work!
J Day, Plymouth
More power to your elbow Graeme - you do a fantastic job, it
must be emotionally tough but very rewarding
Ian Smith, Leicesterershire
This is such a worthy cause, well done for giving of your
time to make these children forget there troubles for a
while. Keep up the good work Graham Lee

Good luck, Graeme; it's a really rewarding thing to see
their faces light up for something as simple as a balloon or
face painting.
Liz, Cambridge
An amazing story and very touching too
Mark, Coventry, Warwickshire
Well done for your efforts for a truly worthwhile cause.
Yvonne, Herts
I've known Graeme for several years now. I have followed his
trips with great interest and wish him all the best for the
upcoming trip.
Alan, Perth, Western Australia
We always welcome Graeme to Endsleigh and our customers
reward his amazing balloon modelling and magic with
donations to the appeal. Well done Graeme! Go Billy Wiz!
