Well it's been almost 2 weeks since I launched my campaign and the support and interest continues to grow daily. After nearly two weeks, the number of signatures on my petition has doubled to over 4000 today! Following a short family break last weekend I returned to Accrington and was invited to BBC Radio Lancashire's studio in Blackburn early on Tuesday morning to be interviewed by Graham Liver on his breakfast show. the station continued to feature my story and campaign as one of their headline stories in every news bulletin throughout the day! Then when I returned home Dave Guest, chief reporter for BBC North West news came to visit me at home with a camera crew. He interviewed me and my parents about my campaign and filmed me at home and then we went to Accrington Bus Station to shoot some film sequences at their new Changing Places room which is an excellent facility. My story was featured on the 1.30pm, 6.30pm and 10.30pm North West news and I was very pleased with how well it was reported. Over 34,000 people have viewed the tv report online but it's a pity that not all of them have signed my petition yet! Although it was a very tiring day, I loved being recorded and filmed on the radio and television and hope to have more opportunities to do this on other TV programmes and radio stations. Change.org continue to support my campaign by making suggestions for spreading the story further. I have been at Blackpool Pleasure Park today with my family and while I was there a young boy from Lyon in France, who was on holiday here with his dad and grandma, spotted me and came up and told me that he saw me on the television and wanted to know if he could have a selfie with me! I didn't believe that I'd been recognised and I couldn't stop smiling! He said I was very brave for starting the campaign and he's now following me on Facebook and Snapchat. Here is the link to my radio interview (you'll need to fast forward to 7.09am, 1 hour and 9 mins from the start)

and you can see a clip from the BBC news story on the BBC NW Facebook page. Please keep sharing and retweeting my campaign and thanks for your continued support.
