Hi people.

 

Just want to keep you all updated. I was challenged by my gym instructor at Aspire, Stanmore Orthopedic Hospital to cycle a marathon.  I accepted the challenge to do 26 miles on a exercise bike. This was firstly to prove to myself I could do it physically as I have a CP (cerebral palsy) and secondly it was to raise money for Aspire. I had 2 weeks to complete my challenge. I have managed to complete the marathon in a week. This was over a three day period of 40 minutes a session. So far I have raised £815 on line through my just giving account and I still have sponsorship forms to come in. This is in addition to a further £560 on the last count and still rising.  I have attached a couple of photos and my Aspire record card.

 

If you haven't already donated and a you would like to you can visit my just giving site www.justgiving.com/Darren-Coulson  or contact me on this E-mail address for a sponsorship form. I've been told I can keep my donations open until December. This is because a kind friend of my Mum's is having a 60th birthday party and wants people to donate to Aspire instead of receiving presents on her birthday.

 

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank a few people who have really helped raise money for my charity Aspire. These people are Dave Alan for getting people from the herd website who kindly donated a substantial amount of money to the online donations. I would also like to give Keith Martin a mention as he got most of the donations around the Emirates and pubs around Blackstock Road (plus any man to be able to get a score out of Baillie deserves a mention!!) A massive thank you goes out to Lal Hardy and all the staff at Newave tattoo. not forgetting Deluxe digital London, friends, carers and also my family,
