Fundraising for Dyslexia Research Trust
Story
CHECK OUT POST RACE PHOTOS ON THE LEFT ...
On 31 Jan 2010 I traipsed 8miles over an SAS type assault course dressed as a Gladiator to help fund research into Dyslexia which impacts not only 100,000s Britons, but also a bit closer to home in the form of a member of my family. Please read the below which will hopefully encourage you to sponsor me:
THIS IS SPONSORSHIP WITH A DIFFERENCE:1) Donations go to research and clinic time not marketing, charity muggers or my participation (I covered the c£250 entry / travel / accommodation costs).
2) This is not just funding any research and it’s even better than M&S research.....it’s world leading research no less , for more read here http://www.dyslexic.org.uk/aboutus.htm .
3) In aide of my dyslexic family members favourite movie I dressed as a gladiator with the outfit in such a state at the end it had to b laid to rest in a recycle bin
4) The event is plain gruesome. Last year it snowed and of the 6,000 starters only 55% finished and 10% were treated for hypothermia. To see a video of my previous effort click on the my video link to the left or Google “tough guy 2009 assault course sub zero”.
5) I will supply photographic evidence and a post race email.
6) Your donations go to research and clinics – worth repeating. £1,250 runs the free clinic for a week.
Justgiving is ready to take your donations – don’t forget to fill in the gift aid bit. Every pound counts.
Much appreciated.
