PLEASE HELP FINBARR SHUT UP
For everyone who knows me I have a reputation for talking..and now I am even paid to talk, well coach (see www.bizfizz.org.uk).
Some years ago I joked about what would be my greatest challenge if I was to be sponsored to do anything..not parachuting or lying in a bath of baked beans or even running the marathon and yes..it was to be silenced. As my three gorgeous girls know too well I can't go anywhere without talking - and yes that includes to random strangers.
On Friday 9th January 2009 I did 24hrs of silence AND still worked (including one trip into the city) AND had my kids in the morning and evening!!!!! And because it started on air on Radio Norfolk at 8:30am I had to do the start of next morning in silence as well!! This was one of the hardest challenges of my life!!!
And why did I go silent...to raise loads of money for the students at the Hamlet Centre to get even better music equipment to make beautiful noise - check out the Yoghurt Collective (especially black black leather) http://www.myspace.com/yoghurtcollective - this money will go towards new music equipment for use at the centre and to duplicating their two existing CDs for public sale.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Hamlet Centre Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
But if you prefer old technology you can send a cheque made out to The Hamlet Centre Trust and post it to: Please Shut Finbarr Up, C/o The Hamlet Centre Trust to The Hamlet Centre, Ella Road, Norwich, NR1 4BP.
So please sponsor me now and spread the word to anyone else who would like to see me silenced or help the Hamlet Centre students make more noise!
