<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: blue; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #000000; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">My aim is to raise £5'000.00 myself for The Edwards Trust charity and this is by doing "The Oddball Rally" which is over a two day period between Birmingham and Llandudno. There will be 40 cars entering and believe me there will be some fun (especially with my arch rival Matthew Southall). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #000000; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;">Edward’s Trust is a vital and extremely hardworking local charity in Birmingham and the West Midlands. An unsung, no frill hero that is working daily with parents, children and families who have suffered the tragedy of bereavement, often in very difficult and unexpected circumstances. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">With growing demands and record levels of referrals in their 21 year history, they are forced to work on a 20% reduced working week because of a lack of funds. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #000000; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;"> They take every step to ensure monies are used for the direct benefit of our service users and that donations made go exactly where they should!!!</span></span></p>
