Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page</p> <p>So here we are, I've commited to running 26.2 miles on what will probably be a freezing, wet London morning in April on behalf of The Freewheelers Theatre Company.</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>I enjoy pain, chaffing and exhaustion? I really dont.</p> <p>I enjoy training at 5.30 in the morning? I really REALLY dont.</p> <p>Midlife Crisis? Could be worse ways of dealing with it....</p> <p>I enjoy food and wine a little too much? Undeniably, but not really the reason.</p> <p>For the last five years, I have been involved in taking the clients i work with to the Freewheelers and i constantly see and hear the enjoyment they get from the weekly workshops and the fantastically professional shows they stage.</p> <p>The Freewheelers Theatre Company brings disabled and non disabled actors and supporters, production teams and the local community together. They&nbsp;use theatre and dance, wheelchair and voicebox technology, multimedia, animations&nbsp;,puppets and shadows to create innovative work.</p> <div class="moduletable">It really is a great charity and organisation and any help that you can give them would be greatly received.</div> <div class="moduletable">Don't worry about the pain i will be going through, i've been told that&nbsp;10-20 years of physio should be able to help an old man get back on his feet although i will happily buy anyone a beer after the event who comes up to support me on the day!</div> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
