NEWSFLASH....BAWA PLEDGES TO RAISE £100 a day...for 80 days!!

As some of you may know, I am Trustee of this great charity, Promise Dreams, which raises money to help seriously and terminally ill children realise their dreams.  The downturn in the economy has hit the charity hard, with a lot of our corporate sponsors unable to support us during these difficult times.  Therefore I have decided that drastic action is required!!

I am asking for your support and sponsorship as I intend, no, I WILL stop smoking and drinking alcohol from 1st January 2009 for a whole 80 days!!  Yes, that's right, read it again NO BOOZE OR FAGS!!

I know it's hard to believe but I feel strongly that if this sacrifice by me will raise much needed funds then, being blunt, it just has to be done.

Any amount you can donate through this site will be hugely appreciated but please be as generous as you can as I really want to raise £8,000.

There will be weekly updates on my progress so please check back to this page or visit www.promisedreams.co.uk to see how I'm getting on.
