Booze, Bravado and a refusal to wear a Christmas Jumper to the Insight Christmas Jumper Day lead me down this path. I challenged my colleagues to put up £1,000 for me to do this and they did so, as my word is my bond, here we go....  I am spending Friday 20th December in full sperz kit (no doubt a size or two too small), shinpads and astroturf boots.  Pictures will be available - at a price !  I said I would do this to raise money for Blind Veterans UK who have recently been a huge help to my cousin Billy.  Read his story here ...  http://www.blindveteransblog.org.uk/news/billy-drinkwater-talks-of-his-time-serving-in-afghanistan       I cannot begin to match what these brave people have done but I hope that the money I raise by looking a fool for a day will help them in their day to day lives. I'm sure a lot of friends, family and colleagues will also get a good laugh and much mileage out of this but as long as you donate, bring it on !
