Tour
Sandy Geddes one of the members of the Appeal Committee
recently went on an epic trip out to South Africa following the British
& Irish Lion's Rugby Team. Along with best friend Norrie (both
pictured right) they managed to get their photograph taken at the
British Consulate wearing the appeal T-shirts and to talk to a
number of folks about David and the work the Appeal does. Their
full exploits can be read in their diary which is to be found as part of
