Story

As I’m sure your all aware we lost one of life’s genuine good guys last year , so a few of us are going to make a pilgrimage to the home of daves favourite tipple , Henry Weston’s , it would be a lot easier to drive if I’m honest but I can’t imagine anyone sponsoring us to eat fruit pastels on a little jaunt , so we’re going to walk it , around 40 mile give or take a few , camping on the way , we will probably end up eating slugs and drinking our own piss , but he was worth it .. plus when we get there looking like Tom Hank’s from castaway , we’re going to drink and be merry ( excuse the pun ) so now ,for the piss drinking/ slug eating/ thigh chaffing/ blister popping ,I’d love you all to dig deep , it was shite what happened to Dave and his family , so every penny will help and stop other people not only losing there dads/ husbands friend etc but from other fools like us drinking our own piss . Thanks love you all , unless you don’t sponser then your a wanker.

After only two weeks we’ve smashed the original 500 target , even better news the British brain tumour charity has contacted us to thank us and help with the fundraising , we found out that 2740 quid is how much a days research costs into this tosser of a disease , now if we can get that much for our bumbling wanderings , daves family get to go to one of the research centres and even more special a memorial plaque with daves name goes on there remembrance wall for everyone to see who visits.. so if you already have , thanks , if you haven’t then don’t be a tight arse , no one likes a tight arse , we really need to get this otherwise I’ll have to become an international cat burglar and as I make the sounds of a rhino caught in a bear trap just getting out of a chair it’ll only end one way , me in prison with a soap on a rope .. thanks again from daves merry marchers x
