Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="Firstpara" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Strictly is coming to Corby! I&rsquo;ve been busy learning the Waltz, Cha Cha Cha and Quickstep to raise money for Lakelands Day Care Hospice in a Strictly Come Dancing contest.</span></span></p> <p class="Firstpara" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lakelands is an independent charity committed to delivering the best possible practice and development of specialist palliative care for people with cancer, heart failure and other life-limiting illnesses.</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I&rsquo;m representing RS Components and I&rsquo;ll be joined by nine other &lsquo;celebrity dancers&rsquo; from local companies. We&rsquo;ve all been very busy practising our dance moves for our big night on Friday 21 October, when we&rsquo;ll be performing in front of an audience of more than 300 people and a panel of judges. I only hope </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Craig Revel Horwood won&rsquo;t be there!</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Learning all the moves is extremely challenging but I&rsquo;m looking forward to dancing under the glitter-ball and having some fun on the night. Let&rsquo;s hope the competitive spirit kicks in!</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="Bodycopy" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">It would be wonderful if you could support this worthy cause. Please be as generous as you can and Lakelands and their patients will be so very grateful.</span></span></p> <p> <p class="Firstpara" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Making a donation is simple, fast and totally secure.
