A GREATEST LOVE GALA is planned for New York city 2002/3 to celebrate and unite the work of even more national and international childrens charities.

The way ahead for The Greatest Love now lies in your hands. The future of
this incentive and for the millions of children we all want to help is up you - yes,   YOU reading this page now.

Three years have passed since my fateful meeting with the elderly American
couple, on the steps of the British Museum, sparked off a remarkable journey
of discovery.

During the intervening period I have received deep insights and learned valuable lessons. For instance, I now understand why charities rarely communicate with each other even though they share many of the same aims. The reason is simply that they feel the need to protect the donor bases which provide them individually with the financial lifelines which make their work possible.

However, in the jealous - if understandable - protection of these individual
sources of survival, the separate charities have built up impossibly high walls which actually separate and make them inaccessible to the very children they seek genuinely to help.

Over the past three years, doctors and charity workers worldwide have responded to the message of The Greatest Love by telling me that a change in the way charities and hospitals conduct their relationships with one another is long overdue. They say it is difficult to initiate the change from within any one particular organisation because of the inherent bureaucracy and internal agendas.

They all agree that necessary change can only be simulated by an outside
force - me so far, but now each and all of YOU.

You can start playing a part in bringing about this change and helping
children by:

• Asking your local children's hospitals and charities to contact us
  (Their details can be on our links pages for all parents to access)
  
  
• Talking about The Greatest Love and directing your family and friends to these pages
  (Word of mouth can spread around the globe)
  
  
• E-mailing us with your thoughts and ideas on what you have read here
  (Your creativity and initiative will drive our mission ahead)
  
  
• Above all you can take responsibility for the future of all children. Your child and my child equals the future. Our children equals one child.
  Let's give them a sense of pride.
  
  Thank you
