[Blossomhill]

Yes please let us know how to vote

[motherinferior]

I'm so pleased.

I used to run the Mencap press office, about 10 years ago.

[Keane]

I dont know how you vote

her school have chosen her and sorted it all out. The pics are gorgeous.

If she wins her pics and story will be put in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

It is to raise awareness of learning disabilities

Keane - that is fab and she so deserves to win (little poppet!). Is there anything on the mencap website? (scuttles off to look)

[tamum]

Oh how fantastic! I've seen her photo and she is indeed gorgeous. I'd vote loads

[Davros]

How lovely, I hope we can vote. I can't get used to you as Keane, I just think of Roy or Robbie

[Blossomhill]

Bring back Fio

[heartinthecountry]

I've just emailed mencap to find out more....

[Keane]

i did check their website about a month or so ago, when they first said they were putting her forward but there was nothing on there about it.

Never thought to e-mailloooooo

[Potty1]

[JaysMum]

[nutcracker]

[Keane]

I think it might be a panel voting tbh

as the main objective is to raise awareness of learning disabilities to people who dont know , havent had contact with, or dont understand it iykwim

[Hulababy]

There was a really lovely photo exhibition at the V&A last year done by Mencap - pictures of or taken by people with special needs and some brilliant stories. Is this the same thing for this year? I will def check out the exhibition again as I really enjoyed it. Love to see a pic of your girl, too!

[Merlot]

Oh, you must be v.proud Keane (why the change of name - is it to keep us on our toes? )
