Story

SHOCKED ?!?

Well its true, the bone idle lazy man you all know has decided to get off his oversized derriere and take to the streets.  Its the kind of stuff Hollywood stands up and takes note of....'Run fat boy...' springs to mind.  London Marathon here we come.

Now I hope the sight of me wearing tights is good enough reason to get you all to donate to my charity SENSE.  If not, on a more serious note....

...have you ever spent one hour of one day of your life trying to function with say a blindfold on? Try it and see (and not on the sofa with a beer and the sports commentary on). Difficult, dangerous, disruptive, scary...the list goes on.  I think our senses and particularly our sight is often taken for granted and its really really tough when they're not there.  SENSE genuinely makes a difference and helps those who are deaf/blind....children and adults alike.

So to ALL OF YOU...I'm certainly not too proud to say please please PLEASE donate and dig as deep as you can to help those with lives infinitely harder than our own...and I'll promise to do everything I can to drag myself over the finish line (in less than 14 hours).

Thank you so so much.  Ali.
