Charity there for dads too
I am a very proud father to four energetic girls. I’m incredibly lucky that my girls are all fit and healthy, although I know how helpless you can feel when one of them is hurting even in a relatively small way: a knocked head; a broken bone or an achy fever. The dad’s feel it too.
As Father’s Day approaches I find myself considering that unimaginable situation of having a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Not knowing if your child will ever get better, or knowing that they never will.

Hide AdI am an immensely proud supporter of Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, a charity that helps families caring for a seriously ill child. The charity provides emotional and practical support wherever and however it is needed.
Fathers often feel a pressure to be the strong ones. Rainbow Trust can help by supporting every member of the family – even the ‘strong’ silent dads.
This Father’s Day please join me in supporting this charity and making a £3 donation by texting 70111 or visiting www.rainbowtrust.org.uk.
