Posted By: Sneezy Birthday Cards wanted for William - 28th Jul 2015 8:34pm
Just found this on Twitter/Facebook.....
The mum of a terminally ill little boy has appealed to strangers to give him a birthday he will never forget by sending him a card.

William Magee's mum's Kelly is appealing for anyone moved by his story to send cards to wish him a happy day.
Cards can be sent to :

Bubbles' World of Play, Marine Point, Kings Parade, New Brighton CH45 2HZ. Xx

hi Sneezy. Hope all is well in the woods.

I think this is a lovely idea. Can you please, please remind us a little nearer the time, because it will get swamped and forgotten about on here, in the next week or two ?

Hi Granny, all is well Thank You, hope all is good with you hi
I think Bubbles are already accepting cards now as they've put it on their Facebook page
happy

This story has touched me and my family alot ,rudebox and i were at the fundraising event at Hollinshey in NB, last year when the was a 'talk ' about wirral in the olden days....
We will be sending cards ... and a 'thinking ' of you message for the parents and family ......
Snowy i dont think the date matters ... just do it ...The postman will have a 'bad back' if they all arrive to-gether ....lol

Why would people need reminding if they genuinely cared.

From Bubbles today...........

We've easily got over 12,500 posted and dropped off to Bubbles. Wirral Radio, Heart FM, Wirral Globe have also been collecting and there are over 100 drop off points around the NW which will probably have a lot.

Amazing bananalove yomama

Thanks for the update.

I took my card up to Bubbles today and met THE William in the car park. So he opened my card there and then. He really is a lovely little boy. His mum said he was already overwhelmed and that was only 11a.m.
I`ve no idea how he would have gotten through the day as I heard on Heart radio that they`d had to rent another two vans for all the cards as the two double decker buses were full!!
The Heart DJ`s Joel and Lorna kept talking about a huge surprise so I think maybe they`ve got a trip to Disneyland,
We should know more tomorrow.

Elaine keep me posted, can't get heart radio here x
Posted By: granny Re: Cards for William Update...... - 19th Aug 2015 9:16pm
Oh my gosh! Dear little William could possibly get into the 'Guinness Book of Records' . Wouldn't that be great ?

I wonder if his mom expected quite so many cards ?

Brilliant !!
Posted By: Giggler Re: Cards for William Update...... - 19th Aug 2015 10:15pm
Yes somebody on Heart mentioned The Guinness Book of World Records when they said they`d had so many thousand cards delivered from the sister company in America.
Kellie said she expected about 15 extra cards when she put it on Facebook. So quite a surprise for everyone I think.

Can this `Cards for William` be joined to the other one? So everyone can see the photo of William?

Unfortunately rude...personally I've a lot on in my daily life, I do my best as iam sure you do. You don't have to controversially comment on everything. It's just silly, and that was a silly comment. I am sure you have had to have a gentle reminder before now???
Posted By: Giggler Re: Cards for William Update...... - 20th Aug 2015 8:47am
They are off to Disneyland. A footballer has paid for it.
But this morning they`re having breakfast with Liverpool's first team.
24.873 cards and still counting!
Here`s a link to Heart radio to read all about it and watch the video of the moment he jumped on all the cards!
So wherever you are Lollipop you can listen to Heart. If you want to.
