We're Going Back to Space. And This Time, We Need You.
Things I Taught My Parents About Space 3 is in the works. And we're looking to raise £10,000 for MS Society Scotland.
Why MS Society Scotland?
Did you know that one in 500 people in the UK live with multiple sclerosis. In Scotland, that rises to one in 300. Scotland has one of the highest rates of MS in the world.
Dr. Clara Doran MBBS MRCGP is one of those one in 300. She's a GP. She's brilliant. We’re biased of course. She has MS. All the folks living with MS deserve better than a disease that still doesn't have a cure…. yet. Some great work is being done by great people looking for a cure and we want to support them too.
So this book is, in part for Clara. And for the thousands of people like her across Scotland who wake up every day and get on with it anyway. And the amazing researchers and teams working to find a cure or better treatment or for the teams of people in the society who help those living with this disease.
So what are we actually looking for?
Three things, honestly:
Sponsors and partners. If your organisation wants to back something special, we'd love to talk. This isn't about a logo on a website. This is your name attached to curiosity, kindness, and a cause that matters.
People willing to share. We recognise that not everyone can write a cheque. But everyone knows someone. If this lands with you, pass it on. A share costs nothing and could mean everything.
Anyone who loves space. Or science. Or children's books. Or just interesting facts about what’s going on above our heads.
Over the past few years, we've seen that curiosity and kindness, combined, create something extraordinary. We didn't plan it that way. It just happened. And now we're looking at doing it again, only bigger.
Tag someone who loves space. Drop a comment. Share this post. Or just hold a good thought for us as we finish the book and get it out into the world.
The universe is big. Let's do something small and brilliant inside it.
Check in again at thingsItaughtmyparents.co.uk and please buy a copy when we launch it later this year.
Thanks you for reading.
