It’s coming up to that time of year again. Regular readers may remember how last year i was involved in trying to raise money and awareness for the Walk 4 Matt event, via this blog and the site http://waspswalk4matt.com. Well last year it was all about helping my other half who has taken part in the walk every year since it started… however this year I am helping more.
Not walking, thank God, trekkin the 120 odd miles between Rugby and Twickenham is not my cup of tea. Instead I will be driving one of the canal boats that the walkers sleep on. Far more my pace.
But before that I am fundraising. Fundraising for the event proper will happen later, where I will also be trying to rope in any other bloggers to help me out, but right now I am fundraising for the unthinkable. Me in an England shirt.
Yes you read that right… as part of an effort to reach the £1500 target my other half has to hit I have offered to wear an England shirt all day on Saturday, first in Cardiff then Swansea. As you can imagine this is painful for me, I have real fears that it will burn my skin.
The target for that was £150, and already we have surpassed that… so for £300 (only £80 more needed at time of writing) I am offering to wear that shirt AND be videoed singing the English national anthem, to put put on You Tube and here. and if, by Saturday morning, we have raised £500 I will do all that with a temporary ‘I love England’ tattoo and wearing a bowler hat.
Pictures will of course be displayed as proof.
So please do donate anything you can, even if it is only the price of a pint. The charities are very deserving – the Matt Hampson Foundation which helps support severely disabled rugby players and Special Effect which helps develop gaming tools for learning and fun for children with very special needs.
