It was Freddie anniversary on the 17th June 2010. He passed away 2 years ago in Shanghai, China doing what he loved best, promoting his wine, Lauva, with his favourite people in the world, Daisy and Ana Sofia.

Because we all live in different places, Daisy in Italy, Ana Sofia in the South of France, Gaby,Trinity and Kevin in the USA and me in London, we have not been able to have an annual memorial service to remember and honour his life on the anniversary of his death.

I've decided that each year I will do an event (run a marathon, do a sponsored walk, etc) to raise money for Fred's charity of choice, The Cancer Research UK. As many of you know Fred was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2001 and he fought a brave batter until the day he died. I'd like to honour his life and effort by raising money.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now!
