Story

<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>About five years ago I broke most of the bones in my body including my neck, lower back, left femur, tibula, fibula and right arm.</p> <p>I am part bionic and have all sorts of metalwork in my body.</p> <p>Much as this may be a good excuse for being lazy I have decided to give the comfy chair a rest.</p> <p>I would love to say I was a gifted sportsman who's dazzling career was put to a sudden halt. In reality I was in the 3rd XV and almost banned from playing hockey! So, I would like to ham it up in order to raise some money for those who really need it.</p> <p>The Tibetan people are currently facing major challenges, many are displaced, in need of aid and global support.</p> <p>Please make a donation to the amazing ROKPA and give a good excuse for me to try and run like Forrest Gump.</p> <p>Be sure to add gift aid &amp; thank you for your support!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
