Oct 12: my girlfriend hosted a photoshoot raising money for my brazil trip. Great turn out and fun had by all

Hi all.

As you may or may not know, in summer 2010, some friends of mine went on a mission so fantastic, it opened my eyes into what is actually happening in the world. They went to the Valley of a Thousand Hills in Durban in South Africa with the Lionsraw team.

I will be fundraising for these next two years, having started last summer with a mental bike ride from John O'Groats to Lands End (Via Sunderland). Thats roughly 1,000 miles in under 2 weeks. We raised close to £2,000 for the charity!

To find out more about the incredible work Lionsraw did out in Durban, visit www.lionsraw.org or Facebook. The soccer schools and building projects out there were fantastic, and we hope to have an even bigger group, to carry out even bigger projects in Brazil.

So please dig deep and donate now, everything helps.
