Story

Hello everyone,

Where to start....erm........oh yeah, i wanna clear something up rite!!!!, my main picture!!!!!!!!! , before ya start, YES it's me okaaaayyy!!!!

As if i would be so pathetic as to use a pic of a male model running & chop his head off then try to pass it off as me just to attract potential female donations...........erm............

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord .................. Hail Mary, full of grace, the lor.........................................etc etc 

Anyway, Paul 'the last minute' Kilroy is running the Manchester BUPA 10K this coming SUNDAY aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!, along with my brother John & kid sister Trish, (Thankfully they have not trained much at all for the event so should be a giggle watching them suffer, myself, i am a natural born athlete who will have a few front runners pooing themselves when they see me on the starting line i can tell ya.....erm.............hmmmmm) to raise as much money as possible for two charities this SUNDAY namely 'Retrak' and 'Help for Heroes',........... I decided to dedicate my own fundraising to Retrak after my brother John went to Ethiopia in November with colleagues from Greater Manchester Police to help with Retraks' project in Addis Ababa, where they operate a drop-in centre and night shelter for children who find themselves barely surviving on the streets.

The project provides food, medical care, education, a bed for the night, counselling, fostering and adoption, family locating and resettlement, vocational training including apprenticeship schemes, and business start-up opportunities for older teenagers.

On hearing some of the heartbreaking stories from John on his return, I realised just how privileged I am to have my own family around me without any of the problems street children suffer every day, I then agreed to take part in this years run to 'do my bit', so I am now giving YOU the opportunity to sponsor me ( aren't you lucky ! )

Please sponsor me by clicking on the 'DONATE' link, and have your plastic ready, and remember, if you are a UK tax payer, RETRAK will be able to claim an extra 25p from the government for every pound you donate but only if you tick the 'Gift aid' box. Don't delay, donate right now pleeeeeeeeeeease to make a huge difference to a kids life.

I ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS SO AM BEGGING YOU DO THIS NOW!!!

PS, why don't you give Trishas' page a look-in at ...........
