| SAA/0004 | JESSICA UYS - FOR CANCER RESEARCH UK "My name is Jessica Uys and I am doing the Manchester 10k run on the 16th May which is five weeks away. I was really hoping my sponsorships would have progressed a little better than they have and so I am hoping by joining UK Sponsorship I will be able to raise my target. It is very near and dear to my heart and I hope that out of the kindness of your hearts you will help me hit my goal in raising £1,000 for a great charity that I'm sure will be dear to a lot of your hearts too. My best friend was diagnosed with Renal Cancer last year at the age of 23 and she died a few times in hospital and very nearly died for good as there were loads of complications. She is doing very well now after being in hospital for three months last year and is having dialysis three times a week for four hours a day until she can have her kidney transplant - so I just want to do something as little as this to let her know how great I think she is".

| SAA/0006 | MISSING PEOPLE Missing People provides support for missing children, vulnerable adults and families left in limbo. The charity offers families of the missing specialist advice and practical support as well as searching - securing publicity that could end years of heartache. Missing People relies on donations from individuals and companies in order to provide its services and reunite families. This year the organisation offers a new opportunity: to sponsor a phone and help the charity to provide hope and support to children like Sam. Sam ran away to escape his father's constant abuse. He was alone in a phone box late at night when he contacted Missing People. Sam said that no one cared, that he had nowhere to go and that he wanted to hurt himself. With sponsors' help, Missing People will be there for every desperate caller like Sam. In return, Missing People will provide • the sponsor's name or company logo on www.missingpeople.org.uk (50,000 visitors a month) • a recognition plaque at Missing People HQ • recognition in supporter communications • PR activity throughout the campaign • a 'Thank you' letter from Sir Trevor McDonald. "Most importantly, you will receive a full update of who your company has helped. We have a range of other opportunities to support our work, from sponsorship of our flagship running event, spaces for your company's team at the Virgin London Marathon, to getting your company to take on a challenge for the charity; or it might be as simple as setting up a payroll giving scheme at your work or even recycling your old mobile phones. We also need volunteers throughout the year across the charity, so, whatever time and skills you have, we'd love to hear from you. Whatever you, or your company, do it will ensure our phones are there 24 hours a day to help young people like Sam. Call us now on 020 8392 4510 or email marketing@missingpeople.org.uk to discuss ways you or your company can help". Contact: Pete Richardson, Marketing Officer.
