So the Crowd Funding ends tomorrow. What started as a hope to raise maybe 4K has ended with a massive £25K! I cannot thank you all enough. This is truly astonishing and bears testament to your goodwill and kind hearts. Colin is a very lucky man. We are all relieved he is safely back home and recovering well. A short message from Colin: "I have 420 thank you letters to write now and that could take some time, but if you did put something towards helping me out, thank you so much and I’ll be in touch". And a warm thank you from me too. Zanna x

More good news! We have raised over £24,000 which is amazing, so thanks again for all your generosity and kind words of support. We are over-whelmed at the incredible response. Still 7 days left for the fund raising! Colin is very much on the mend and has been up and about which is great news. He has retrieved his personal belongings from the police station, including the crew of teddies. They are all safely with him in hospital. Colin plans to fly home next week, so we hope to see him back in the UK very soon. Thank you to you all, Zanna

Good news! The operation went very well and Colin is doing fine. He can still move his legs too which he is very relieved about. They have said his bones are good and strong so shouldn't take too long in recovery. Many have asked about sending cards and gifts, and posting to Japan will take too long, so please use his parent's address: 38 Wallheath crescent, Stonnall, Walsall, Staffs, WS9 9HT UK
