At the Healing The Wounds charity, they firmly believe in the title of the Will Young hit ‘Anything Is Possible’.
It could even be something of a motto for the charity, which helps treat sufferers of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).
Event manager Amie Phillips is a big fan of Will Young . . . so, on the basis of ‘anything is possible’ she asked for a favour when he visited a South Wales radio station.
“We asked Will if he’d be kind enough to autograph one of our Healing The Wounds banners and he was delighted to agree after it was explained to him what the charity’s work involves.
“His autograph is the first on our banner, but it will be the first of many we hope as we plan to get more celebrity autographs and endorsements.
“Then, when we’ve filled as much of the banner was we can, we will put the finished banner up for auction to raise cash for the charity.
“As an auction item it will be a real one-off and of great appeal to celebrity autograph hunters.”
Amazingly, in December Will Young will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his winning Pop Idol.
The singer has sold more than eight million albums worldwide. His latest (fourth) studio album is called Echoes.
“Lending his name to our banner was a very nice thing for Will Young to do,” said Healing The Wounds executive director Kevin Richards.
“We are the only charity working to make sure that veterans and members of the civilian services get treatment for PTSD where they need it, close to their homes in Wales.
“The work we do is hugely valuable and important for the brave men and women who serve our country. To see the transformation in PTSD victims after they have attended one of our treatment courses is to appreciate what the term ‘life-changing’ really means.
