On the 16/12/2009 I started this JustGiving page with the intention of trying to raise £1,000 to repay the Ronald McDonald House Charity in Oxford as a thank you for what they had done for me & my family during my unexpected illness at the John Radcliffe Hospital in October & November 2009.

I still find it hard to believe the generosity & support I have received from so many friends & family who have helped me with my fund raising efforts.

I feel very lucky as along the way I have hugely enjoyed everything involved with the fund raising events including –

Making speeches about the charity to hundreds of people.

Meeting Stavros Flatley & Signature - Pictures on this justGiving page.

Attending a charity golf weekend.

Being a mascot & meeting the players at a Reading F.C. match - Donated from an anonymous donor - I would love to find out who made the donation to say thank you in person!!!!!!

Playing in charity football matches -

A couple of years after coming out of John Radcliffe Hospital in a wheel chair I was so proud to be playing football at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 20/11/2011 & being coached by some of the legends of the game - A huge thank you to all for your help & support - A short clip of me at around 1 min 25 seconds on the following video -
