Dear Chris and Mel,
  Thank you both for your best wishes, I am touched by your concern. 
 No worries Chris, I am sure someone will come to the rescue soon. 
 
  Fund raising or sponsored event is a good and worthwhile idea, perhaps for the above group or maybe the 
National Autistic Society.  How we would go about it is another question for debate. 

 I didn’t think of that, I’m still trying to get my head around the concept of designing a poster. 
 
  Thank you both again. 
 
  
  Kind regards, 
 Richard.
