Chris and Laura contacted the Gazette & Herald just before Christmas to see if the newspaper would be interested in a story about them and the Community Impact Award. And here's the result - with Cameron admiring the trophy but Saskia more interested in the photographer. The following week the newspaper published a letter from a reader expressing her dismay that the paper "gave such prominence to the, apparently, unmarried teenagers who ... decided to have a child and then another."

The letter continued in a similar vein and serves as a reminder of the strong feelings about teenage pregnancy held by, not only the reader, but probably by many more people as well. It also serves as a reminder that, if you stick your head above the parapet, someone might try to whack it. I reckon the risk is worth it. So, well done Chris.
