<p>Hi, I'm Scott and thanks for visiting the page...</p> <p>Now don't worry!!! I'm not going to try and make you feel so guilty into sponsoring me hundreds of pounds... I'm not a children in need spin off, or a fundraising con artist for that matter.</p> <p>But... 8 years ago my grandad 'Ray Nangreave' was diagnosed with cancer and was told he had 6 months to live, he defied the odds and fought for many years until 14th Novemeber 2011, where my family and I sat around his 'Good Hope' hospital bed and waited until we watched him take his final breaths.</p> <p>Undoubtably the saddest moment of my life, he was more than just my grandad, he was my friend who I used to share opinions with usually about sport, which is something we both loved.</p> <p>He was born on 25th December and as a surprise for his 71st birthday I had convinced some of the world's most famous sports stars to record him happy birthday messages along with many other famous television personalities such as Ant n Dec, Peter Andre, Noel Edmonds and many, many more. Sadly he didn't make it to see DVD but as a surprise to the family I went ahead and shown them on Christmas day, which went down well and helped lift the spirits.</p> <p>I can't post the video online as I don't have permission to use it for broadcast but I would be more than happy to show you if you wish to contact me on: <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a href="mailto:Scott.Campbell@itv.com">Scott.Campbell@itv.com</a></strong></span></p> <p><strong>Now for the real reason why you're reading this...</strong></p> <p>Cancer charities are always popular and I may be criticised for not trying to raise money for one of these as this is what fundamentally took my grandad's life. However my family are big animal lovers and I feel that these charities often find it difficult to raise funds. For those of you who knew my grandad, will know that he loved his dog Duke and I feel that the 'Birmingham Dog Home' would be a cause that he would be proud to have been a part of.</p> <p>Therefore during 2012 I will be partaking in many charity events such as the Birmingham Half Marathon, The Great Midlands Fun Run, The London Marathon and many more.</p> <p>I'm hoping you can spare just a small donation for my efforts, and if this hasn't encouraged you enough then take a look a my dog Ted in the photo's section just below... Please give what you can! Thanks Scott x</p>
