Celebs back Sun’s Christmas card campaign to bring joy to kids with cancer this festive season
A HOST of celebs tonight backed our Christmas Cards For Kids appeal – urging YOU to help bring joy to children living with cancer this festive season.
Gaby Roslin, Rick Astley, Lisa Snowdon and Martin Kemp, along with Gareth Gates and Laura Hamilton, got on board with just a week to go until the big day.
Every penny you spend on our limited-edition Christmas cards — on sale at The Entertainer in store and at thetoyshop.com — will be used to buy presents for children in hospital over the festive season.
TV presenter Gaby asked that you donate to this “wonderful” campaign and buy the cards, designed by readers’ children, so we can deliver as many gifts as possible nationwide.
The mum of two, 59, said: “This is wonderful, vitally important.
“The kids in hospital over Christmas can’t go home. Every- body deserves some joy.

Singer and dad-of-two Rick, 57, said: “All you out there, get buying these Christmas cards so other kids who might be in hospital or might not be having the greatest Christmas can have a bit of joy as well.”
Actor, Spandau Ballet star and dad-of-two Martin, 62, said: “The Sun on Sunday’s campaign is a beautiful idea.
“At Christmas, more than at any other time of year, parents need that extra support.

Another celebrity who thinks our campaign, launched with our charity partner Children With Cancer UK, is “beautiful” is TV presenter Lisa, 51.
She said: “I’m right behind The Sun on Sunday’s campaign. My heart goes out to everybody who is unwell with cancer and any families touched by cancer.
“Christmas is a time for family, and it becomes really hard when people you love are suffering.”
Singer Gareth, 39, said: “Get behind and support by buying these cards, you could truly make it a magical Christmas.”
Mum-of-two and A Place In The Sun’s Laura, 41, said: “There are families out there with poorly children who really need our support. Do it — get involved.”
- Our cards are £6 for a pack of 12, containing our three winning designs. To buy them, visit any of the UK’s 170 The Entertainer stores or go to thetoyshop.com.
