20,000 make their mark at Glasto this weekend

Monday 29 June 2009

It’s Monday afternoon and, like many other people, I am sitting at my computer writing this blog and wishing I had been at Glastonbury this weekend.

The reason? Because over the past few days people have been ‘Making their Mark’ - giving us their thumbprint - to support our biggest ever campaign to save children’s lives.

The feedback we have received from everyone at Glastonbury has been amazing. At one point on Friday people were queuing outside the tent patiently waiting to ‘Make their Mark’.

We headed to Glastonbury expecting to get 10,000 thumbprints over the whole weekend. As of the end of the day yesterday, OVER 20,000 people made their mark. We even had loads of celebrities ‘Make their Mark’ - from KT Tunstall, Graham Coxon from Blur, and Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand, to Pixie Geldof, Gabriella Cilmi and even Andrew Marr. See more pictures.

Just because you can’t be there, doesn’t mean you can’t support our campaign too. Join the 20,000 at Glastonbury and ‘Make Your Mark’ today.
