Send help to sick children in a click

WE all want to avoid those last-minute jampacked festive post boxes - so this year we're giving you the chance to send your cards online and do wonders for seriously ill children.

Thanks to the Daily Express Christmas Appeal, you can send a charming collection of e-cards to help raise money for Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.

They have been created by the charity's copresident, legendary illustrator Sir Quentin Blake, for Roald Dahl Nurses, who care for children with life-limiting illnesses.

Sir Quentin, now 92, illustrated 18 of British author Dahl's most famous books.

Smile

Charity chief executive Louise Griew said: "Sir Quentin has drawn us a lovely collection of Christmas cards which cannot fail to raise a smile at this time of year.
