Story

Hi Guys,

So I'm actually doing it, running the London Marathon and all for a truly inspiring cause. Variety Club. Their objective is to increase a child’s independence, level of confidence and self esteem. They also aim to increase physical health, communication skills and very importantly enable them to spend more time together with their friends and family.

If you know me you will know how much of a big deal this is going to be for me, I have always wanted to run the London Marathon but have never had the patience, or commitment to spend months and months training for that one big day. 

have a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWt1H3q9ETI&feature=channel_video_title 

That is why I feel so strongly that this is my time to dig deep and train hard for such a wonderful cause. The work that they do at Variety Club is truly amazing and I feel so strongly that all children should be able to live their lives to be as happy as possible, to achieve their dreams and always have a smile on their face. 

Please take your time to donate to such a wonderful cause. 

I'll be giving up alcohol from January so those who know me will know how much hard work it's going to be! I'll keep you all updated so check back for more news.

So please dig deep and show your support!
