Happiness and Hope
Lewis' family are working hard to make his life as fun as possible despite his condition and the distressing treatment he has to endure. These are just a few of the important memories in Lewis' life - here at the Lewis Edmundson Appeal, we're looking forward to giving him many more.
A Winter Wonderland
We asked Lewis what he would like for Christmas - he said he didn't want any presents, he just wanted to play out in the snow. It took us almost a full year to pay for this one magical day out.

Nice To Meat You!
When rock legend Meat Loaf heard about Lewis, he invited the entire Edmundson family to the front row of his concert with "Artist's Guests" tickets, and met them after the gig. Lewis' mum was overwhelmed:
"John and myself were a little star struck and only managed to get one picture with him. However, Lewis and Damian spoke to him as if they'd known him forever. Meat has made a dream come true for our family!"

Making News With Lewis
February 2006 saw Lewis appear on the cover of the Blackpool Gazette. He was also the subject of a special Granada Reports programme, which raised public awareness of his condition.

Getting to the point!
