Hi All

 

Unfit, overweight and hate running so what’s the best thing to do? Yep, enter the London Marathon!

 

You should know me well enough to know how hard this is going to be. So to help motivate me I have decided to raise as much as possible for an amazing project that is very very close to my heart and somewhere that has personally helped us - The ‘Keep Me Close Appeal’. This appeal raises funds specifically for the Plymouth NICU parental accommodation unit.

If I can raise enough to help just one family stay with their newborn baby through their treatment, at a time when it should be the happiest time of their life, then all my suffering over the next few months will be worth it. Please Google ‘Keep Me Close Appeal Plymouth’ if you want to read more about it.

 

The ‘Keep Me Close Appeal’ comes under the Plymouth Hospital charities umbrella. I have been assured however that every penny raised of my fundraising will go directly towards the appeal and directly towards the accommodation for future parents to benefit. 

 

I know times are tough, and people are always asking for money but please please spare anything you can. Even if it’s the cost of a pint you may buy me for doing it. I cannot express how much it will mean to me to complete this and donate whatever I can.

 

Thankyou very much in advance.

 

Mike
