Once again I've been delighted to read everyone's comments today. There are so many of you following the progress of the campaign and encouraging me to carry on which is great. It occurred to me that if every single person who has signed the petition already encouraged just one more person to sign it tomorrow, then we'd achieve over 90,000 supporters and be on the way to 100,000! How amazing would that be?! Surely Moto, Welcome Break and RoadChef would have to take notice then? Incidentally, do any of you know anyone who works in one of these service stations, maybe near you? So I promised you some exciting news today but actually I now have three pieces of news from today. Firstly, I spent an hour this morning visiting what's hopefully going to be my new house, well bungalow. At the moment it needs a lot of adaptions to make it fully accessible and suitable for my needs, but I'm so excited that what was once just a hope is now becoming quite real! Secondly, following last night's update we were contacted today by the people at MOSI, the Manchester Museum Of Science & Industry who want to talk more to me about my visit and want me to pass on some advice to their Head of Operations! People are listening and I am really pleased that MOSI is wanting to find out more rather than just dismiss the issues as unimportant. I'll keep you posted. And thirdly, the news which some of you may have already discovered for yourself.... my photo and a short article apeared in 'Take A Break' magazine today (issue 41) in the Letters section. I never thought they would feature me when I sent my story to them, but hopefully this article will help my campaign to reach a wider audience. Tomorrow I must spend some time updating my presentation ready for taking to the college students next week, and hopefully prepare to make a short video to share online. Keep sharing and continue to share your changing place experiences, good and bad. Thanks as always Zack P.S. Chorley Hospital ... you guessed it! Still no official reply as yet!
