Vice /Chair and Founder Member

John Started the Lost Organsitation after he found his 16-year-old son Dead from Solvent Abuse. I was shocked that my own son and 2,000 other children have died from Solvents (Glue Sniffing) most people would have just walked away But I wanted to do something for all the mothers and fathers out there who lost their children .

 

 

 

• John Campaigned in the Scottish parliament and had all the laws changed to stop shop/keepers selling gas to young people under 18 years old
• 32 Scottish councils in Scotland backed Johns Campagain  to make it a success
• This made Scottish History and would save Future Generations all over Scotland
• John Meet the Prime Minster and the British Government in London
• John also took his Campagain to the European Parliament in Brussels
• For His Efforts John was giving the Queens Awarded at a Ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London 2003
• To meet the Queen was amazing ( she said I had made a big Difference to the people of Scotland and the U.K )
