Heroes!
Where would we be without heroes? Would I be here?  I doubt it?
My Ancestors
Stefan Horvath, born Budapest, Hungary.(great grandfather)
Marie Horvath, born Pozsong, Hungary. (great grandmother)
Stefan Horvath, born Dresden, Germany (their son)
The family left Germany, and came to London, England
Rosa Horvath, born Smithfield, London, England (my grandmother and
first mentor in life)
Rosa married Herbert Jones (mentor) from London, England.
Herbert served in WW1 & WW2.
One of their daughers was Beryl
(my mother, mentor)  served in the WRNS in WW2.
If you view my
profile you will see that I have a history of fund raising.  
This is my latest venture.
I was recently re-reading the excellent book by Dr. Denis Waitley, and he remined me of the 'win/win'
senario.
The win/win sernario? Yes.
It goes like this.
I help you, you help me.
That way we are both winners.
In this instance I don't want your help.
But the
charities need your help.
To help the heroes.
To help those less fortunate that us.
They need the funding.
If this web site has assisted you in your development, solved some problems, pointed you in the right
direction, or just been a reasonable read, I would like you to donate some of your hard earned cash to one
of the charities I have nominated.
How much time has this guy from just outside Liverpool, England, helped you? Only you know the answer
to that question.
You could well be a business that has benifitted from the links I have added. I know Ron Hock has
because he wrote to me.  Thanks Ron.  By the way your book, The Perfect Edge is brilliant.  I have learnt
so much from that.  It will enable me to improve my future teaching packages. Thanks.
I have signed up with
www.justgiving.com and nominated five charities. You can donate through  the links
that I have created below.
The Alzheimers Association.
