"Alan is currently raising sponsorship money that will be donated to The Shooting Star Children's Hospice (with whom TOPS have engaged in mutually beneficial activities) The Shooting Star
Children's Hospice (Registered Charity No 1047916) is a truly amazing organisation that relies almost entirely upon charitable donations to look after children with life-limiting conditions and their families."
Their philosophy of "Enhancing quality of life, when every moment counts" pretty much says it all. Please, please give generously and to make it easy, Alan has established a web page that provides a lot more information and gives you the opportunity to make an ON-LINE sponsorship donation. Everyone at TOPS wishes Alan 'Bon Voyage' and a safe return in time for his performance in the TOPS production of 'OLIVER' at Richmond Theatre in July.
