Thanks for taking the time to visit Tim Brady's JustGiving page.
I know that those who know me well will be surprised by my choice of charity! They will also wonder why a middle aged fat bloke like me would even think about getting out of my armchair to attempt a ten day trek to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro?
Well the truth is that many years ago, a long time before I was deep in a mid-life crisis with more kids then I can count and generally having a pretty lousy year all round. I was "homeless" myself and lived in the wilds of down town Bristol for several months in the back of a clapped out rusty old ford escort van (happy days really!). its a long story and will not bore you with the details, but unless you have been there its hard to explain the sense of loneliness and fear a person gets when in that situation.
What does not kill you makes you stronger! Since then with a bit of luck and Gods grace I have done okay, but now its time for me (with your help) to give something back to a charity I personally know does such great work to help folk in the same trouble I was in 25 years ago...
My wonderful employer R H Amar & Co Ltd has VERY kindly agreed to match anything I raise myself. I am attempting to raise £3250, but I have to do it all within 6 weeks!
I realise its not a great time to ask for money, but its probably the first time I have every been round with the begging bowl! If you can afford to, please could I ask you to give a little (lots of "littles", soon make alot!)
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now. (or I will have to start selling my children to get the money!)
Many thanks
Tim.
