My Dear Family and Friends,

On the occasion of my 50th birthday (8th April), I would like to ask if you will join me in support of SNAP. This wonderful charity has supported my family and I for over a decade and with your help, I would love to give back.

In lieu of personal gifts, may I ask for donations to fund SNAP’s tireless work in supporting all of us with neurodiverse youngsters in our lives. SNAP is our haven for tears, smiles, information, education, and a really good cup of tea when you need it most.

Emily Grimes (SNAP Music Therapist) and the Parent/Carer choir embraced this idea and made the song possible. My thanks to all of them. It was such fun to do.

We hope you enjoy our ‘throwback’ to 1973 and in the spirit of the 70ties, a bit of ABBA just had to be done!

To each of you taking the time and trouble to read this, I want to thank you for the role you play in touching my journey of 50 years. I am the better person for everything you bring.

And to Patrick, Hannah and John, you give my heart a home…

Love Marie/Mummy xxx
