The Teenage Dream!
Teenage Cancer Trust awareness week
This January Tanbridge House Schoo released their world record setting radio advertisement to the public and announced that they will be selling copies to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity (TCT). On Monday 18th January the school is launched a TCT Awareness Week to push the sales of the advert with the help from a very special guest, Nicole Dryburgh.
At just 20 years old Nicole is blind, confined to a wheelchair and almost totally deaf due to being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer at 11 years old. Although she may have been through hell and back over the years Nicole will be explaining her incredible story to the students at Tanbridge House and how you should never give up on your dreams and stay strong in life.
The week will then continue with a team of education experts from TCT who will visit all of the students at Tanbridge House School as well as selling the record breaking radio advert on CD’s and various merchandise to help raise as much money as possible for the trust.
John Calvert from Airforce who created the advert commented: “Creating a world record radio advert was a dream of mine for years and partnering with Tanbridge House School was the perfect opportunity. Selling the radio advert to raise vital funds for TCT is now the icing on the cake as both the school and the trust have the same message – teenagers are the next generation, support them and they will astound you. The advert is not only a major achievement for Airforce but also for the students and I hope that everyone will applaud their efforts and listen to their message.”
Jules White, Headteacher at Tanbridge House School said: “Tanbridge House School really enjoyed working with John Calvert from Airforce and the project gave the students involved an invaluable insight into the world of radio. At Tanbridge House School we are always looking for new ways to raise money and awareness for charities and hope through our forthcoming TCT awareness week we will not only raise awareness but also through the sale of the radio advert significant funds for the charity.
Copies of the advert are available to buy from Tanbridge House School, office@ths.uk.net or alternatively at www.teenagecancertrust.org.
