Born to ...

The new work from Save the Children is very good. It gets across a message of action but in a way that shows the lost potential of wasted lives instead of just showing despair and a 'need' shot that makes you feel awkward and want to turn it off. It reminds you just why we should support charities like these.

A Request!

Hello folks, my lovely wife is doing the Cancer Research Race for Life this weekend and is looking for sponsors.

It's a 5km run and she is doing it in memory of our friend Russ who sadly died from cancer in January aged just 27.

If you would like to sponsor her for this great cause please visit her Race for Life page here.

Thanks those of you who have sponsored her already :)

And Finally (for today)

If you haven't yet sponsored me for my charity cycle day on Saturday, I would love it if you could! Everything counts, and its for a great cause.

I have only been on a bike once in 12 years, so I will be working hard for my sponsors!

Wow. I am impressed by the response to my sponsorship post. £160 already, and its all going to a great cause. I better get in shape cause I'm gonna have to cycle a fair way to justify this kind of support!!

Donate here if you can, it's for a great cause - Soft Power Education in Uganda

A Much Better Cause - Please Help

I think the Las Vegas trip was maybe aiming a little too high given the circumstances! So I shall instead report from here in Blighty... Thank you to the peeps who offered help (and even one person who offered to lend me 200 Euros to help me get there).

However, I have found a better cause for everyone to put money into, I am taking part in the Go The Distance Cycling Challenge in aid of Soft Power Education charity, who do brilliant work helping to provide access to education for children in Uganda.

If you have a few quid/euros/dollars/Yuan that you can spare I would love it you could put them towards this great cause. The photos of me falling off my bike all day will make it worthwhile I promise! (Only cycled twice in 12 years, this is pretty hard a challenge for me!!)

Donate here if you can, thank you!: Just Giving - Soft Power Education

Dont Forget

A conversation a minute ago with a work colleague helped me discover their opinion of the homeless is that they are all lazy druggies who should get a job.

Grr.

Which reminds me. Dont forget about helping them.
