Ok, so its not very manly to admit it, but I cried my eyes out last night

I’d come up from the office (we have a 3 story house with the ground floor converted to offices) to find Lucie visibly upset

It turns out she’d been reading stories on http://www.uk-cherubs.org.uk/ of babies who’d had the same condition as our daughter Summer (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) but hadn’t survived.

Despite me not wanting to, something inside me felt COMPELLED to read some.

And it’s a good job I did!

As I read name after name of babies who had sadly passed away (somwhere between 33-50% of babies with the condition die at birth or shortly after) it reminded me of how totally and utterly eternally grateful I am for my baby girl.

It certainly but my ‘problems’ into perspective. (Lucie says I was particularly grumpy yesterday!) ;o)

But as I continued to read, I noticed a very, very interesting pattern…

Whether the story was of a baby who survived or not, they nearly all mentioned the same thing…

The love, care and support the families got from the NURSES.

Here are some of the most dedicated, hardworking and caring men and women on the planet, literally working on the front line, saving children’s lives every day and yet what do they get in return…?

An absolute pittance!

And that’s when I got a crazy idea…

I realised that despite putting on the most incredible NLP & Coaching Business Conference last September and raising over £31,000 for the Tiny Babies, Big Appeal Charity…..

It’s just not enough.

I want more.

They DESERVE more.

So whilst the idea kind of scares the crap out of me, it’s time to step up.

I want to raise £50,000+ to help the nurses and carers who support families with sick children.

When you have no money, a little can mean a LOT.

I have no real concept of HOW I’m going to do this, I’m not clear on exactly how I’ll use the money to help these angels (I also know there is lots of red tape when it comes to giving to nurses after trying to ‘help out’ a nurse who looked after Summer), but I do know this…

I WILL find a way.

So here’s what I’ve decided to do…

On 30-31 January 2010 I will host a 2 day seminar called ‘The Client Attraction System: How to get more coaching clients than you could ever handle’

It will be the very best seminar I have ever done.

The best content

The best speakers

The best experience

Period.

I’m going to present you with a line up of speakers who are changing the world, impacting peoples lives in a positive wat AND are literally flooded with more clients than they could handle.

And I’m going to persuade them to show you exactly how YOU CAN do the same.

And ALL the money will go to charity.

Wait, wait, WAIT!

I’ve just had an even better idea…

On the Saturday night we’re going to have a black tie dinner and charity auction (plus another surprise that I don’t want to reveal just yet!)

But…

In order to raise my target of £50,000 I’m either going to have to get more people than last time (there were 300 at the last event), or ask for a bigger donation per person (it was between £97-£197 last time), or both.

So I have a simple question for you…

IF I deliver on my commitments to you that I’ve made above and give you the most blow away experience of your entire life…. WILL YOU HELP ME?

If you’re seriously interested in attending this event, please keep your eyes on this blog!

If you’ve also got suggestions for speakers or prizes for the charity auction, please email me

Right, I better get going, I’ve got some serious work to do…

With a refreshed appreciation for life

Dan

P.S. We’ll get to have fun, learn, contribute to each others lives and raise money for a tremendouly worthy cause… how cool is life!?!?!
