<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">Many thanks for coming to my sponsorship page. Most of my friends and colleagues have questioned my sanity about taking part in a white collar boxing match. It is very simple. I have experimented with several gym memberships and personal trainers over the years </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">but lacked a goal-the threat of being punched has certainly spurred me on to get fitter! </span></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">However, more importantly over the years I have admired my friends' and colleagues' efforts in running, cycling, walking and other activities to raise money for charity. When the mother of my goddaughter, Harriett Crosby, died of cancer last year at a tragically young age an idea was born. When my mother-in-law, Jane Kyle, also passed away from cancer earlier this year I felt that I wanted to do something to remember them and to raise money for good causes. As some of you will have noted, there are two justgiving links for the same event- due to a quirk of the website you can't nominate two charities on the same page. One is to raise money for Sobell House in Oxford which provided the most excellent care for Jane and the other for St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth which provided outstanding care for Harriet. I do hope that you will sponsor either one of both of these charities.</span></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">So how is it going? 6 weeks to go until fight night and the nerves are starting to kick in. First session in the ring on Sunday which was a little scary and a little painful. Stepping up the intensity in training so fingers crossed. All suggestions for a name to fight under and related music are most welcome! </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">Wish me luck for November 3rd and remember all for a good cause. Many thanks to all my family, friends, colleagues and clients who have supported me and coming to watch me on the night. For those who can't, the video clip will follow...</span></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span class="635240913-20092011">Most of all, for Jane and Harriet, sorely missed by all. I know they would have enjoyed seeing me take a few punches and I will be wearing Arsenal red for Jane! xx</span></span></div>
