Caroline's Campaign...

Watch out for an event called ‘Caroline's Campaign’ - which is going on all over the UK with Caroline Monk (AKA Monkey) and Toni & Guy Salons.

In 2004, Caroline was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the central aim of ‘Caroline's Campaign’ is to provide make over sessions for women currently going through chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Cancer treatments can really take a toll and Caroline wants to offer an experience designed solely to elevate and boost women’s self-confidence. Her next stop is Manchester on 15th July 2008 and then she's going to be putting in an appearance at every major city. Caroline wants women with cancer to look and feel as beautiful as they always were and always will be, and her fantastic team will make sure that all before and after effects are amazing.

A project in India is trying to make it possible for traditional communities to learn to live alongside tigers in an internationally recognised reserve.

The Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, is the Indian tiger’s natural habitat. It was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1980. Over the last 30 years, the growth in human population has put pressure on the area’s deciduous forest, causing the tiger count to plummet and when poachers claimed the lives of 22 tigers, only one breeding male was left.

Recognising the urgent need to tackle the root causes of poaching, as well as reducing the villagers’ dependency on the forests for fuel, Dr Goverdhan Rathore set up the Prakratik Society.

A Grammy-nominated violinist has been reunited with a £2million violin he left in the back of a cab.

Grammy-nominated violinist Philippe Quint got out of a cab at New York City's Battery Park early Monday, leaving the 1723 Antonio Stradivari "Ex-Keisewetter" inside. The violin spent the remainder of the night on the seat of the cab, which owner Mohamed Khalil parked on a Newark street.

By the morning, he was still unaware of what he was carrying.

By then, the frantic Quint was calling the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Newark's Taxi Commission, which put the word out that the violin was missing.

Monday afternoon, Khalil checked his taxi while at Newark Liberty International Airport and discovered the violin case with the instrument inside.

Quint soon arrived, dropped to his knees and shed tears of joy.

I'm not surprised!

Good old Christopher Biggins is among the celebs supporting a national campaign to raise money for the development of a new treatment for veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The campaign has been launched by social inclusion charity P3 to raise money to fund the development of a new treatment for combat related PTSD, which in pilot tests delivered an 80% success rate within the first 28 days.

Ex-RAF Officer Steve Bradbury has taken on the challenge to run the London Marathon this week and he hopes to raise the first milestone of £64,000 for P3. This money is needed to complete the final development of the treatment programme and enable P3 to prepare for a larger pilot scheme, which will be independently assessed.

This unique new treatment delivers a six month programme involving 28 days of PTSD Recovery Training followed by five months of social rehabilitation which may include re-housing for homelessness, drug and alcohol rehab and other social inclusion programmes.

The ‘Once is enough’ campaign is supported by ‘King of the Jungle’ Christopher Biggins, ex SAS and TV personalities Bear Grylls and Major Ken Hames (Ken has suffered for many years with PTSD) and Britain’s first female fast jet pilot Jo Salter

Sponsoring Steve Bradbury at the London Marathon is something that everyone can do to make a real difference to those servicemen and women who are affected by the nightmare of PTSD,” adds Christopher Biggins.For more information on the ‘Once is enough’ campaign visit http://www.knuckledownforheroes.com/ or to sponsor Steve Bradley at the forthcoming London Marathon, visit http://www.justgiving.com/ / SteveBradbury
