So, why am i doing this? Read on and all will be revealed...

 

In January 2009 my father passed away as a result of a stroke. Up until the end he had seemed in good health so it came as a real shock. In the following months things became very difficult for my family in dealing with the practical issues resulting from his death and doing something to help others wasn't really an option no matter how much I wanted to do so. However, time helps a lot and now I want to do my bit to help others.

On Tuesday 3rd April a benefit is taking place in London at The Queen's Head, Denman Street, Soho, 8.30pm. Entry is FREE but donations will be collected.

The intention of this donation page is to assist the many people who have said they want to help the cause but can't make the event itself. This is a great way to do so.
