I AM putting together a booklet with cartoons in order to raise money for the Colon Cancer charity.

As your readers may know, colon and rectal cancer is a huge problem in this country with many people affected annually.

Often referred to as the silent killer, it can often be fatal, unless detected early, However, the very nature of the disease can be cause for embarrassment.

I would like to appeal to any of artistically-minded readers to ask if they would like to send a cartoon contribution. The cartoons must be on A5 paper (an A4 paper folded in half) in black and white only.

If they would like to send it to me at the address below then I will include them, as well as informing them of when the booklet will be out and how they can obtain a copy should they wish.
