Nails for Woolich - Help for Heroes

Image
Kerrie in the British Nail Bloggers Facebook group suggested we do nails to show some support for the colleagues, friends and family of Lee Rigby, a serving British soldier who was brutally murdered on the streets of Woolich.  I come from a military family and live in an area that has a lot of military personnel so I was all for getting involved. However I would just like to add this act would appear to be the work of some very disturbed individuals and I would in no way condone the wholesale condemnation of certain ethnic groups which has occurred since this horrific event.   Lee was wearing a Help for Heroes shirt ( http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/ ) when he was attacked and this has proved to be a constructive focus to show some respect.  This is a great organisation that raises money to help wounded military personnel. More details after the break.
