SIR - Can I through your newspaper, thank everyone involved in the street collection in Letchworth on November 25 for the Nightingale Fund at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.

The money raised will go to The Lee Haynes Memorial Fund in memory of my son who died of renal failure last year aged just 25, and will be put towards funding a clinical renal research institute for Hertfordshire dedicated to improving the quality of dialysis treatments. The weather could not have been worse, but the fantastic sum of £511.04 was raised plus a £500 donation from a wonderful friend of mine. We also qualify for gift aid of £148, giving us a final total of almost £1,160.00, an amazing amount!

My sincere thanks to everyone who collected for me and to everyone who gave so generously, you all made the day very special to me.
