A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

If you’re thinking about sending a #FatherDay card this year, why not switch to eCards, help our Charity, and help save the planet all at the same time. We've teamed up with DontSendMeACard where you can support our Charity by giving what it would have cost to send cards.
