5 days until you can buy it...!
Things are going MAD here.
Facebook has groups with over 3000 members now! 'Help get Ellie into the charts!' and 'Ellie's Fund - raising money for childhood brain tumour research.'
I've done an interview for Yorkshire Coast radio tonight - tomorrow with Jon Morgan for Radio York. Calendar news are coming to film on Friday at Scalby school - I've to be there too...
People are inundating Chris Evans fb page to play the song. It's MAD, but AMAZING. I think those of us involved could do with a management team right now!
CAN YOU HELP raise awareness PLEASE?

Making a better place for all begins with one random act of kindness.
Ellie started this process.
Scalby School continued this process
Please don't let this process end at you, help make a difference and get this fantastic song the air play it deserves.
Make a difference and help the cause

What a lovely tribute to a special girl! My friend was friends with her! She is an inspiration for all of us and I suppose it's a message to say never give up! R.I.P Ellie, you star!

Proud mum of 3; I brought Phil and Ellie up alone after their Dad and I spilt up in 1996. I later met Jason and he moved in with the 3 of us in 2002.
We've been married since 2004 and have a daughter together.
I worked for 17 years in a bank until I left to have my youngest. She was born with a cleft lip and palate and research into helping her communicate led me to buying a franchise for TinyTalk, baby sign language classes. Ellie was a big part of that - coming to classes when she was on chemo; she loved helping out. I pressed pause on the business in August 2008 to become Ellie's full time carer.
Whilst I was at the bank I was the regional charity fund raising organiser - so when Ellie asked to raise funds to 'give something back' I had an idea where to start. She had a natural flair for it - and together we have helped to raise over £25 000, starting in June 2007 when local people raised £4000 in one night for us to have a family holiday.
I am extremely proud of all my children, and my family; how they all handled Ellie's illness.
And very proud to be Jason's wife. Through all of this he has been my rock.
