OK Here's the deal - I have commited to help renovate a remote community school in South Africa in November 2007 . It is The Engelbrecht Primary School. It was established by the congregation or the nearby Leipoldtsville Nether Dutch  Reformed  Church to serve the rather neglected local community of Elands Bay occupying a complex that has now fallen ito disrepair due to lack of funds, and is now below the minimum requirements for a school and will have to close. There are also no recreational facilities on the site.  I have promised to raise 4 grand in sponsorship , and pay for all my own expenses. All the proceeds from the trip will go to the Bobby Moore Fund to help tackle bowel cancer through world-class research. So we help fund much needed research , pay tribute to the memory of a great sportsman and help kids get a decent environment to learn in. I voluntered for this project  and am paying my own expenses - no TV crew , no ''making of '' documentary and definately no '' i'm a celebrity get me out of here '' . Just getting the job done.

45 people die everyday in the UK alone from bowel cancer - it is the second highest cause of cancer death after lung cancer but is 90% curable if caught early enough.


So please sponsor me now  and leave your message of support if you wish. I really am not bothered how small the amount.

Many thanks for your support.    IAN REDDINGTON   ( Coronation Street )
