PLEASE NOTE BEFORE READING FURTHER:

PLEASE, I URGE YOU, TO ONLY DONATE £2. NO MORE.

THANK YOU XXX

All of the UK's Charities have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.

I work for an amazing charity. MediCinema builds, installs and runs state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and places of care, giving patients and their families the magic and joy of a night at the movies together.

I'm the cinema manager at CW+ MediCinema in Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. At the moment I am on furlough, but like Arnie we'll be back and we'll be needed more than ever. Please do visit the MediCinema website to find our more about our amazing charity.

The London Marathon can't go ahead and so many people will be doing a 2.6 challenge at home on Sunday for their favourite charities.

I'm going to run up and down the stairs (and my room is on the top floor of the house) 26 times in 26 minutes. It should be possible... it takes 20 seconds to go one-way at a leisurely pace.

I would have liked everyone to sponsor me just £2.60, but Just Giving needs whole numbers so... I'm rounding it down!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I URGE YOU, TO SPONSOR ME JUST £2!

SERIOUSLY, NO MORE, NO LESS.

JUST £2.

130 people giving just £2 and I will hit my target.

I know some of you would sponsor me £10 or more... but let's do this as an experiment and see. Just £2. If you want to sponsor more, why not give something to another charity? All charities are struggling.

Go on, £2. Please.
