From the 14th to the 23rd December I am helping my very good friend, Rod Adlington of Adlington Ltd, to deliver his turkeys around the UK. Starting at 3.30am every day and travelling from Preston in the North to the West End of London to the South, I'll be doing my bit to get the turkeys in the ovens on Christmas Day.

All earnings and proceeds will be donated to The Matt Gallagher Foundation - Striving to Beat MND, a charity that has touched our hearts in so many ways over the last 15 months.

If you would like to join me on a Turkey Run, please get in contact. For a £100 donation (and perhaps an equal donation from your employer as a donation match - just think of their ESG points!) you not only get to spend a day in the cab with me, listening to LBC, but I will also throw in a MGF High Viz Vest - kindly sponsored by Mike Turl of Hardyman & Co. Food and drink will be supplied by McDonalds!

Alternatively, if you cannot make it, any donation would be greatly appreciated.

It has been a year of alternative employment for me, however finishing the year as a White Van Man for this fantastic Foundation has topped it off!

Thank you in advance.
