My story

 

Are you Ready to Run the Culture Gauntlet?  
Post event update: On Saturday 10th October something quite extraordinary happened, all because of you! We succeeded against all odds, in achieving our fundraising target of £1500, because you cared enough to make it possible. Thank you (to those present and absent) for supporting me and the sick children's charity, WellChild. Your donation, will make a world of difference and enable them to continue their amazing work. I hope you all had a really great time and are enjoying the fabulous prizes many of you walked away with!

Hot on the heels of this success, our attention has now moved to the public speaking charity event on Sunday 8th November where we shall be teaching people in a really fun and entertaining way, how to become better public speakers and presenters. To experience more of the fun, games and prizes, please sign-up (by the 28th October) at: http://www.justgiving.com/To-Speak-or-not-to-Speak/

See you there!
