Grace Dieu Writers' Circle is helping to promote a Poetry Competition and we'd be grateful if you could distribute this information to your members. There is only one prize and the amount of prize money isn't that great, but importantly all proceeds of the competition will be donated to The Campbell Burns Metabolic Trust.
Campbell Robert John Burns was born on 24th January 2012. When Campbell was nine weeks, he was diagnosed with Leigh’s Disease. This is a rare metabolic disorder which affects the mitochondria in every cell in the body. It meant that Campbell could not produce energy properly.
Campbell tragically lost his battle against Leigh’s Disease on 28th September 2012.
A downloadable entry form and competition details can be found at http://campbellburns.wordpress.com/poetry-competition-2013/ or from the Grace Dieu website at www.gracedieuwriterscircle.co.uk I have also attached a leaflet which can be printed.
Regards.

Rebecca and Mark , Campbell’s parents, have set up The Campbell Burns Metabolic Trust to provide funds to help other families with children who suffer from Leigh’s disease.
Please give your support by entering the Trust's first poetry competition.
