Happy birthday guy's have a nice one :animatedpigeons:

Fraser Smith is 3 and a half and lives in my hometown, Forres in Morayshire. He suffers from 'Retinoblastoma' (cancer of the eyes). His family are trying to raise money to send him to Disneyland before he looses his sight completely. Fraser has already lost one of his eyes and now has tunnel vision in the other one. He was diagnosed at just 8 weeks of age and has been receiving treatment ever since. His sight is deteriorating and his family are desperate to give him some memories before he loses it completely. Fraser still has a lot of treatment ahead of him. He is having to get a special helmet fitted as he is prone to falling over, he has been tested for muscular dystrophy due to having weak leg muscles. Fraser will have to have plastic surgery of his blind eye to have a prosthetic eye fitted. This requires his eye to be stitched and stapled and have silicone shells inserted to to stretch it. All this along with the 'chemotherapy' that he has had in the past is a lot for a small boy to cope with. I would like to thank everyone for their kind donations. I would also like to ask that the members dig deep and help raise as much as we can for this young boy. I am confident that the members of Pigeon basics will do Fraser and the family proud. Many Thanks, Paul Thomson.
