Hello to all my friends.

I am writing to you all,  to inform you about a good deed for this year that I am taking part in. I am doing this for three very good reasons.

1. Its my 40th Birthday in April (and life begins at 40 )
2.To support the staff at St Lukes hospice.
3. In memory of my Boss who sadly died in December of cancer.

All I ask you is to donate what ever amount you feel you would like to give to this worthwhile cause. I’m not asking for 10s or 100s of pounds just £1 will help. But please read the following and this will put into perspective what we waste our money on.

1. Weekly pocket money for 12 to 16 year olds £9.53.
2. Newspapers 50p
3. McDonalds Meal 1.99
4. Taxi Journey £2.20-£4.20 one mile
5. Cinema Ticket £5.50
6. Fish and chips 4.50
7. Glass of wine £3.50
8. Pint of lager £2.74
9.Car travel £1 per mile approx
10.Bag of sweets £1.00
11.Cigarettes £5 +

So please please just spare one of these items from your week, and make all the difference to the people that care for us in our hour of need.

Thank you for reading
