My story

Friends, family and super good people of the t'interweb, this won't come as a surprise to many of you but I am to be arrested and taken away by the police. However it is not for the reasons that some of you might have cynically suggested, I am taking part in the Norfolk Hospice Hold Up - a scheme where they get good-willed/foolish/enthusiastic people such as myself who run a business and put them in "jail". I am asking you to help me raise the bail needed for my release.

It is all to raise money for The Norfolk Hospice - a great charity who help patients, carers and families living with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses.

In March, I will be arrested by the police, handcuffed, put in a police vehicle, have my fingerprints and a mug-shot taken and sent down. All I ask of you is a contribution towards my bail. Some sort of protest and a "Free the Frank's Bar One" campaign is of course optional.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
