#60BEFORE60

I need your help folks.

I’m now in my final year in the ‘Nifty 50’s’ before joining the ‘Sedate 60’s.

So the plan is to complete 60 things before I’m 60 that I haven’t done before.

Challenge ends 12th September 2021 so plenty of time.

Each time I complete one, I will donate £5.00 to ACTION MEDICAL RESEARCH who carry out vital research to save and change children’s lives through medical research, developing treatments, vaccinations and cures. 

Please feel free to share this fundraising effort.

This is a charity with a very personal connection for me.

So please, please, will you help? All you have to do is......

1 - Pick something off the list that you HAVE NOT done before and tickles your fancy.

2 - Complete it and post a tasteful photo on Facebook/Instagram/.......

3 - Donate £5.00 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mark-pierce60b460

4 - Sit back and feel satisfied that you have achieved something new, had some much needed fun and helped a great Charity.
