Hi,

I am writing to let you know of a live event that will take place in a 60,000 seat stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, on July 20th and 21st 2002. It will be beamed live to the world on TV, radio and via the internet and will have an expected audience of 1 billion people.

Whilst hoping to raise in excess of £100 million for charities around the world, Spirit Aid will create inspiration in people’s lives. It will demonstrate how through the power of the human spirit we can lead happy and abundant lives, free from fear, poverty and injustice.

Spirit Aid is about a celebration of life, fun, laughter; the inherent goodness in people to show love, compassion, forgiveness and kindness.

Spirit Aid has the potential to change the world, as we currently know it, forever, by those of us who are willing to become part of it. But we need you, and others like you, now.

Now is the time that we can talk to our neighbours, our colleagues at work, our friends and family about Spirit Aid, and invite them to join us by putting their energies behind it too.

It doesn’t matter who or what these people are today, because even the most hardened, skeptical, and maybe even hostile people that we know will want to become involved with Spirit Aid, because this event is about the future of our home, the planet Earth, and the future of our children, and our children’s children. By becoming involved they too will be able to express who they truly are, be the love that they currently hold inside of them, and express it, in ways and means that will astound even them.

Spirit – the spirit of love and compassion, the spirit of sacrifice and generosity, the spirit of comradeship and co-operation, the spirit of working together for a common goal - will bring people together from all walks of life. This generation has been waiting, hoping and praying for something which could unite them, and allow them to show others just what they are made of. Something that allows them to express it in so many ways, the qualities, attributes and skills that lie dormant within them, just waiting for a chance to be expressed.

We all know we could be ‘more’ than we are right now. But we are frustrated, because we have nothing presented to us that would allow us to be more, and enable us to express our true natures. Now we have.

We all want to demonstrate the love we have inside us, in real and practical ways. We have so much love within us – all of us – that lies untapped and unused. We know we could be the person we truly know we are, if only given the opportunity – the chance – to be that person.

Now, our time has come. This is the window of opportunity that we have been waiting so long for. Now we can express the love within, and really make a difference in the world.

I invite you to become a part of the ‘Spirit Aid Movement’ that is starting to gather momentum across the country, and around the world. There will be ample opportunities for all of us in these days, weeks and months ahead to allow our true nature’s to shine through, to express and demonstrate in real and practical ways, that we care about what is happening in the world today. That we care enough about our planet, and all the souls living on it, to do something about it.

This is our chance, as a family, a community, a nation, and a global brotherhood, to come together, united in love and spirit to demonstrate that all change comes from within, and that when enough people change, the world will change.

We can no longer stand in isolation, choosing to avert out gaze from those situations in the world that are too painful to gaze upon. If we don’t change the way things are, then who will? We no longer have to turn our eyes heavenward and plead ‘Oh God, what can I, just one person, do?’ because we can all do something, and if enough of us join together in love and in spirit, there is nothing that will be impossible for us to achieve.

So, I write this message to you, to reach deep within your hearts not your heads, to join together as one, and collectively be the instruments of peace and love that we are.

The time is now. The place is here. This it it. This is what we have been waiting for, throughout our lives. The call has gone out, and the first of those to have heard it are already joining forces, and coming together for the most important event in the history of the world.


The events of September 11th have blown the Spirit Aid team off course. The initial funding has run out, and with the American’s looking inward all attention is focused on raising funds for New York.

Many of the team have been working for nothing for many months, and heavily in debt, have been forced to seek other employment simply to keep a roof over their families’ heads. But still they refuse to give up. This is a dream which refuses to die.

Please visit www.SpiritAid2002.org and give the team your support and encouragement.
