Billy Wiz Magician

Just a few of the many kind comments Billy Wiz has received:

 

It was great to be involved in the fundraising for your trip along with my fellow workers at the Royal Bank Of Scotland. Well done for all the great work you do for these children, look forward to seeing your next DVD on your trip.

Good luck Graeme. I was fortunate enough to take part and win your golf charity day at Elfordleigh. I take my hat off to you, you are one in a million and I hope that Plymouth is as proud of you as I am. There are not many people in this world who would give up their work unpaid for a month to do what you are doing. Jill is a brick and I know that she enjoys it when you both play host to one of these unfortunate children each year. If you have not visited Graeme's website, then it is not to be missed. It brings me to tears each time I watch the faces of these children smile by such simple things as the fantastic balloons you make for them. We wish you a safe and enjoyable trip and look forward to reading your trip report on your return. If there is any TV companies reading this, then give him a camcorder to record his trip, I am sure his reports would be well worth watching. Plymouth - get behind Graeme - he his is a great ambassador for Plymouth.

What can we say - Jill and Graeme are just FANTASTIC, a true inspiration to us all! We know Graeme is going to do a wonderful job in Belarus, the scale of the Children's care is difficult to imagine, both in the hospitals and orphanages - by Graeme going to Belarus and visiting as many children as he can will make a big difference to their little lives. A little balloon will make a BIG Smile!! The Chernobyl Children's Life Line - Plymouth Link are very very proud of Graeme - We know it is going to be a very testing and emotional trip - but on the up side a very heart-warming, rewarding one!! Good Luck Graeme - we are right behind you and will be thinking of you!! Also keeping an eye on your diary! I wish there were more people like you in the world!!

Billy Wiz is an inspiration in today's society, he takes his time with the support from his family to make a difference to these children. Its not many of us in this day and age, who can say that! I have seen the children's faces "light up" when he comes into the room as they know he will give each and everyone of them his full attention and enthral them in whatever magic trick he performs. Billy Wiz spends effort and time raising money for these unfortunate children but never complains and always wants to give more. I think we all could do with taking 5 mins to visit his website and give something for the Make a Smile appeal and make another child smile!

Hello Graeme, It sounds like you are a great help to a lot of people & I wish you all the best for your visits to Belarus.

My family and I would like to use this opportunity to tell Graeme how proud we are of him and all of his efforts in bringing smiles to some very sad faces. It can be upsetting to see the pictures let alone at first hand. When i see pictures of Graeme I take great pride in telling people "that's MY brother" good luck for the trip. x x from Jane + Lacy

Hi Graeme. As a fellow magician, I am really proud of the way you use your talent and skill to make a difference to these kids. It's amazing the way that you balance your personal & professional life and the way that you keep smiling!! You've done magicians proud and Plymouth proud. Well done buddy!!!!

Myself and family are a host family for the Chernobyl children. It is the best thing we have ever done. Graeme is brilliant and is so devoted to these children and bringing a smile to their faces. Goodluck on your trip Graeme.

I think it is great what you are doing I hope all goes well, my friend looks after some children from Belarus for a couple of weeks a year, I learnt so much about what these kids have to cope with. Keep up the good work.

Dave Hickory, Wiltshire

 

Keep up the good work, it is an excellent cause and I applaud your efforts. I am sure you bring a ray of sunshine and happiness to these children's lives. Well done

I have seen pictures of some of the children visited on previous trips and I can tell you that Graeme brings out their smiles. Keep it up Graeme you're doing a tremendous job.

IT IS A GREAT PITY THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE SAME INSPIRATION THAT THIS GENTLEMAN HAS, HE IS DOING A WONDERFUL JOB. HE REALLY IS A WONDERFUL KIND AND GENUINE MAN.

KATHLEEN MARTIN, PLYMOUTH

Go for it Graeme, I am truly humbled by your efforts to bring sunshine and fun into these childrens desperate lives. You, Jill and everyone else involved in your trips are a real inspiration to all of us. Good luck and have fun twisting all them balloons!

What an inspiration to everyone! Not many people are prepared to give up so much personal time and money. Graeme does a fantastic job in bringing a smile to these unfortunate children. The Make a Smile Appeal and The Chernobyl Children's Life Line - Sunflowers, do so much work to help these children - both are very worthwhile charities - take 5 mins out of your day and have a look at their websites. Well done Graeme - keep up the good work!

J Day, Plymouth

 

More power to your elbow Graeme - you do a fantastic job, it must be emotionally tough but very rewarding

Ian Smith, Leicesterershire

Good luck, Graeme; it's a really rewarding thing to see their faces light up for something as simple as a balloon or face painting.
