THE 2007 Hereford Times Christmas appeal is about to hit the road.

We're backing our wonderful readers to spread some festive joy this Christmas by helping Children of Peace.

Retailers, politicians and schools are backing the charity, providing aid to Gazan youngsters.

They're all doing their bit - but now it's time for the county to deliver.

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) a three-tonne lorry provided by Chadds of Hereford will appear outside the cathedral.

We're still looking for kids clothing, stationery, tinned foods and bedding to prevent a humanitarian disaster in the region.

Even the smallest donation could save a life - so box it up and bring it along.

The lorry will appear outside the West Door during office hours until 5pm, Saturday (December 15).
