Story

Right, as some of you may know I am not the sharpest tool in the box and stupidly, one day, I decided at a bit of a low intellect moment that I would take on a charitable challenge. This challenge happened to be an abseil down Twickenham stadium, in the dark, in the midst of winter, in t-shirt and shorts.....

Now to most of you may think this sounds normal. However, I am slightly perturbed by heights, which should make this alot more interesting.... for the onlookers!

I have tested the duck tape and concur that it works very well  at withholding the screams and maintaining my manliness. However, it is perhaps a little painful on removal, having tested this in the Pub I have found it is extremely successful at removing clumps of my afro hair!

Now I hear you ask, "what charity could this possibly be for?”. In answer to your question, it is not for a daft cause such as save the Arabian pig monkey or keep the icebergs afloat but a very worthy cause, The Stroke association;

The Stroke Association funds research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation, and helps stroke patients and their families directly through its Life after Stroke Services. These include Information, Advice and Support, Communication Support and Life after Stroke grants.

I hope you agree this is a very worthy cause and the sight of me in t-shirt and shorts at the top of Twickenham stadium will tempt you to starve the moths in your wallet for a bit and shower me with your kind donations.

Cheers

 

Chris
