"The event was absolutely fantastic, well attended and we’ve already had positive feedback coming through. One individual in particular asked that I pass on a message to you, which I hope you do not mind me doing: 'I spent my childhood building things with Lego. Last summer my teenage son had open heart surgery in London (pretty stressful! – see attached), and we bought Technical Lego that he and I were able to build together while he was recuperating. It was a great time together. Would it be possible please for you to pass my thanks on to Mr Majgaard for the work he did at Lego? He has my lifelong gratitude.'" - Sam, JP Morgan
