All my friends and family know that over the past 9 years I have been heavily involved with raising money to support Leukaemia & Lymphoma research. The partnership with Wickes has been amazing, and I'm very proud to have been a small part of it. 

I've been lucky enough to go to Alaska, I've run the London Marathon, organised a company wide Rowathon, climbed Snowden, rowed 100,000meters to name but a few. I always try to do something that will take me out of my comfort zone, I get the feeling this will be my toughest test to date.

I'm very consious that my friends, family and colleagues have supported all my challeneges, and the kindness and generosity has been humbling. The partnership with LLR comes to an end this year, and this is my biggest and final event. I plan to take a year off next year, so I won't be asking for any support in 2016 (although I can't promise that Emma won't want to do something!).

So, for one final time, please show your support by parting with some cash. YOUR money really does save lives. It's quite simple, the more money that is raised, the quicker blood cancers ass can be kicked.

Thank you as ever, James.
