It's the 2020 20:20:20!

20 challenges, 20 days, 20 thousand smackeroonies!

 Over the next 20 days, from the 1st to the 20th August, I'll be carrying out a running challenge inspired by famous movies and, along the way, I'll be getting members of the public involved and who knows, maybe a famous face or two! My first challenge is 13 Ghosts! A 13k run and a whole bunch of ghosts! I'll reveal each challenge the night before. What will it be? 12 Angry Men? 101 Dalmations? Zero Dark Thirty… All with a unique twist. Please track me down on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to keep up to date. By day 20 I will have run somewhere between 250 and 300km!

All of the UK's Charities have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.

I work for an amazing charity. MediCinema builds, installs and runs state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and places of care, giving patients and their families the magic and joy of a night at the movies together.

I'm the cinema manager at CW+ MediCinema in Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. At the moment I am on furlough, but like Arnie we'll be back and we'll be needed more than ever. Please do visit the MediCinema website to find our more about our amazing charity.

Earlier in the year I took the 2.6 challenge to raise money for MediCinema and I urged people to just donate £2. Only £2! I've increased my target by 10 this time, and so if you can give more please do. But also, I urge you just to donate £2. It all builds up and times are hard enough so please only give what you can. Indeed, the 4th, 11th, and 18th August will be...

TWO POUND TUESDAYS!

On Any Given Tuesday please only donate £2! Just two pounds. I promise you, it all adds up.

And you can also help by just spreading the word. Let your friends and family know. And, if you live in South East London come along one day and support/heckle me!

And do please follow my progress on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube... find me on any of them by searching "Simon Hickson". If there's more than one I'll be the one who looks like me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Stay safe, stay well, lots of love. Simon xxx
