Text with your nose to fund free IT support services for disabled people
Howard Lake | 7 May 2013 | News
Baroness Martha Lane Fox, the Government's Digital Champion, is texting with her nose to help promote and fund digital inclusion for disabled people.
As patron of AbilityNet, she is supporting the charity's Look No Hands! Campaign to raise funds for free IT support services for disabled people.
"Think about how many texts you’ve already sent today", she said. "Have you ever considered how challenging such daily tasks would be if you couldn’t use your hands? This is reality for many disabled people. And that’s why AbilityNet is asking people to text Look132 to 70070 using their nose (or their toes) and make a £2 donation to support AbilityNet’s free services for disabled people."

The Look No Hands! Campaign runs from 13-17 May 2013. AbilityNet aims to raise £20,000 from the campaign.
