As some of you may know, my family has been closely affected by cancer over the last year.  My father, Mike, is being treated for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and this has really brought home the necessity to find and fund new treatments.

Dad has been through a hell of a lot and still has a very challenging time ahead in his fight against this disease.  Inspired by my brother who is embarking on an 87 mile walk in three days and throwing himself out of a plane (I believe with a parachute attached!) I have decided to take up a challenge of my own to raise some funds.

Ably assisted by my best buddy Steve Smith, on July 23rd we will be visiting Wembley and every Premier League Football Ground from the 2010/11 season within 24 hours.  We are hoping that the clubs will be generous enough to donate some memorabilia which we will then auction off at a later date to be confirmed. We will of course update you on our progress and post photos as proof.

If you would like to see more information on the charity, their website is http://www.beatbloodcancers.org/

Any contribution you can make would be gratefully received.
