Story
I'm taking part in Jail or bail to help raise money for Rowcroft Hospice. Rowcroft is a local South Devon Hospice that provides amazing support for those in need and relies entirely on fundraising and donations to continue to operate. In these testing times, the wonderful team at Rowcroft need our support more than ever and I am hoping you can dig deep to help this worthy cause/charity.
The Sketch
Rowcroft Hospices annual fundraising event Jail or Bail will see 6 jail birds facing fictitious trials to raise vital funds for the hospice. In this fun and light-hearted fundraising initiative, the local convicts all key local business people have been placed under arrest, accused by their colleagues of such workplace crimes as spending too much time on the telephone, being too nice or being a senior member of lastminute dot com!
My Crime
Amongst many others, my crime was to go on a 3 week 'lads' cycling trip through Europe last September when both my business and my family really didn't need me to go!!
BUT I went!! I will now pay my penance by being locked up in a cell for a day on 23rd February and the only way I can get out is by raising over £1,000 for the charity. Now I know for most of you this will be an opportunity to not sponsor me and keep me in jail but that's going against the spirit of it!
Please give generously to this fantastic cause if you are able - or just a few quid, it really doesn't matter - your support is very much appreciated.
Thank you
Matt
