Hi - I somehow managed to hack my way to the finals of this event. The event is held each year to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care; a great cause I'm sure you'll agree.

I won the preliminary round at Llanwern in July, and the Regional Final at Dewstow on October 6. I'm now off to play at La Penina in the final.

The more sponsors I manage to recruit, the more money can be poured into the charity.

Full details of the event are available here:  www.queenmotherscup.co.uk

Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support, it really is appreciated. If you donate, I'll buy you a beer!

Sam
