Story
The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospices award-winning (A Little Less) Strictly Come Dancing event in association with The Malcolm Group is the most glamorous event in the hospice's event calendar and my friend Emma Watson Mack is participating this year. This annual event, is now in its 11th year and is based on the top-ratings BBC Television show. Back by popular demand, the event will be led by Carol Smillie and Bryan Burnett. They take eight former Scottish ballroom dance champions and partner them with contestants from the world of TV, business and radio to battle it out to see who can not only raise the most for the hospice but who can pick up the all-important glitter ball trophy. They also invite special guests from the BBC show to provide a show dance.The 18-piece Syd Lawrence Orchestra provides the soundtrack to the evening. It's a massive challenge for Emma and a massive fundraiser for the hospice so I thought I'd do something far less scary to support them... just going for a little 3.5km swim in the pool this week and hoping to raise £per hundred metres!
