Dear friends and colleagues

I'm going to jail! About time too I hear you say?

On Weds 5th March a number of Manchester criminal insurance bosses are to be arrested and put on trial for various crimes the most serious of which, in my case, is being seen Dad dancing on a regular basis!

I can only realistically plead guilty and I face being locked up in the Greater Manchester Police Museum's Victorian Prison. I will only be released once I have raised £1500.

As much as I know many of you would like to keep me locked up (and with good reason!) the money raised will go directly to The Christie as part of Barry Thompson's (the President of Insurance Institute of Manchester) Project £150k to fund a room in the new Young Oncology Unit at The Christie. A fantastic cause I am sure you would agree.

All donations will be much appreciated.

Many thanks for your generosity!
