A few months ago I posted about a very close friend of mine whose nephew died at 2 years in a duckpond on a caravan site.

The family have now organised a petition to campaign for safer public water attractions. They'd be very grateful if you could sign the petition \link{http://www.matthewmarsden.co.uk\here}

TIA

I have signed it and as a health & safety person myself, I will bump it at every available opportunity.

The website was very touching - I hope the petition makes a difference & raises the awareness of such issues.

How awful! I have forwarded the link to my family. Have signed the petition. Just looked in on my DTs and the other children. I'm thanking God for them. I feel so sad! Sad I only pray that this petition helps to change things.
