Story

Hello People! Thanks for checking out my page.

10k Done. 45 minutes.

I am running the British 10k through London on the 14th of July. I didn't think it was that big of distance until went my first run the other day and I was dying after about 2k. Hopefully I make it. The point of it is to raise 300 quid for a charity called MediCinema.

MediCinema is charity that brings cinema to people in hospital. Because when you're laid-up in a hospital ward for 24 hours a day it can get a bit boring and depressing, so MediCinema gives patients a chance to get out, go to a film and have a laugh (or a cry if its a sad film.) The one I'm working with is the one in St Thomas' and we get all types of people coming in wheelchairs and hospital beds and everything. Some of them you talk to aint been out of their ward for the whole week so you can tell they just appreciate a change of scenery and that but by the time you get down to the cinema their eyes get a big and they realise that its not just some tv in some room somewhere its a proper cinema with a big screen, surround sound, room for loads of people and all of that. And they get to watch a newly released film and they can have their family around them and its all good. It's one of them charities that shows ya that its the little things that can really cheer people up!

Yeah so please donate, I'm gonna look like a right mug if I'm running without any money behind me. No amount is too small or big. This website is on the level so don't worry about putting in your details. But if you don't want to do it online just bell me on 07507373088 and you can donate in person like in the olden days.

Safe!

Max.
