You, your Celtic heritage and Vanessa

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I’m sure many of you will be aware of the Vanessa Riddle appeal which has featured in the comments page in recent weeks.  Vanessa was diagnosed with a form of childhood cancer in 2009 but after extensive and difficult treatment received the all clear 17 months ago.  Last month her parents received news that she had suffered a relapse and that no suitable treatment was available in the UK.  Treatment is available in Philadelphia at a cost of £500,000.

Although the diagnosis is only a few weeks old the fundraising effort to send Vanessa to Philadelphia has already raised over £137k with increasing numbers of people becoming aware of the need on a daily basis (CQN’er, Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan is not a man to be denied).

To help raise awareness and funds, Taggsybhoy has booked Jury’s Inn, Glasgow, two nights next month, one of which, Saturday 11th February, he will hold a Music Quiz for the CQN community, with all proceeds going to the Vanessa Riddle Appeal.  You may have heard mention of the appeal but if you have not caught the details take a moment to update yourself here.  Getting involved is as part of your Celtic heritage as green and white hoops.  Don’t forget to book for the quiz, there’s a limit of 70 people for the room so you can’t turn up unannounced.  We’re home to the Highanders that day.

Issue 6 of CQN Magazine is currently being prepared; drop me a line if you would like to advertise, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

    Seriously, this games is like games v the Darnell during the flying pig’s stint between their sticks.

     

     

    How many chances will Cardiff spurn?

    It’s as plain as the nose on yer face that the sfa have done sfa re investigating these things, and CO as far as a blind man can see is complicit in the cover up.

     

     

    Who wants to open the box ?

     

     

    Had our club been minded the box would be open, had the media done their jobs we wouldn’t be having this conversation, but we all know that.

     

     

    So we will just have to wait the tax case ruling, then I would imagine that many other facets will open up.

     

    Uefa will have to step in at some point.

     

     

    My dream is that there will be no hun in any scottish league next season, I honestly think that is a possibility.

     

     

    Anyways, time for the pit, ofskie to Dublin for a few days.

     

     

    God bless Timland

    So ye noticed?

     

     

    Of course,it is very probable that Vanessa’s Parents

     

    did try St.Judes..

     

     

    In any event, I thought it would not do any harm..in fact,

     

    the complete reverse..

     

     

    IF..

     

     

    Vanessa’s Parents had neglected tae gie St.Judes a Shout…

     

     

     

    by bringing that avenue of hope… tae thur attenshun.

     

     

    Ah hiv known one family, who did take their child to St.Jude.

     

     

    The little Girl Had Cancer..and St. Jude took her case.

     

     

    and fur.. Free..

     

     

    Now,the Little girl..is a Big Girl..and her cancer is in Remission..

     

     

    Thanks, to the treatment which she received.. all those years,ago.

     

     

    St.Judes, do wonderful Work.

     

     

    Nice chatting..

    Dirtymac,

     

     

    I am only supporting Cardiff cos their manager is a Celt and the Palace gaffer is a Rangers man.

     

     

    Irrational I know but it’s often how I decide my allegiances in games south of the border !!

     

     

    Neil Canalmar, wow, you are angry at Lawell, I will respectfully disagree wholeheartedly but Hail Hail..

    Vanessa Appeal.

     

     

    Dont know how to , but via the tweeter stuff or whatever its called, and thinking of the publicity Lawrence Tynes is getting just now, does anyone have a way of getting in touch with him ?

     

     

    Superbowl and all that.

    Only joking mate! Don’t take it to heart. When you look in the shaving mirror in the morning you can smile at yourself as you are starting another day as a TIM!!!

    Precisely. And , btw , precisely what some west ham fans were saying on one of their websites earlier today.

    Very very very,

     

    As far as I’m concerned he’s burned his boat, the plc comes before the club

    Evening all.

     

     

    Just checked in for the first time in a couple of days, very pleasantly surprised to see that todays article is for Vanessa!!!

     

    Proud of ye Paul67!!! ;-)

     

     

    Also a HUGE pat on the back to Celtic for inviting her and her family along to the club. Obviously her appeal relies on widespread publicity and our club has played a great part in getting the story out. (well done to rangers too by the way- think she was there yesterday?).

     

     

    Vanessa has the same cancer as my wee boy, Oscar. It is an evil, evil, evil disease. Oscar is only 7(ish) weeks into his treatment so there is a long road ahead. With a bit of luck Oscar will beat this disease like Vanessa initially did. With an even bigger chunk of luck it will stay away for 10, 15, 20 years to allow our wee boy the chance to grow up- a chance which he thoroughly deserves. Vanessa deserves this chance too.

     

     

    Im sure most of you have already donated to Vanessa’s appeal, but if you havent please please do.

     

     

    Imagine that was your little girl?

     

     

    Or your little boy?

     

     

    You wont miss twenty quid!!!

    Murderwell move to within 7 points of the admin darnel with a 3-1 win v Hunfermline. Another one of them games where you want both teams to get beat.

     

     

    Craigan red carded too, so at least there’s one silver lining.

    Getting beaten on pens. by Raith Rovers remains the sickest moment of my Celtic life.

     

     

     

    Maybe you weren’t around when Dixie put it over the bar whilst across the city the Huns beat Bayern 2-0 to get to the ECWC final (back door route).

     

    That was real bad.

    Reading any other fans website leaves me feeling a tad disloyal.

     

     

    In my defence I was led astray by that serpent Newsnow.

     

     

     

    G’Night to you and and all. Early start.
