Story

When I was ten years old I my Dad took me to see Saturn through a telescope.  It was an experience that changed my life.  I have great parents who cared for me as a child and did all they could for me.   Not all kids are as lucky so I am attempting to break the World Record for the longest lecture to raise as much money as I can for kids who were not as fortunate as me.  To that end, I will present my Ultimate Guide to the Universe in September 2021 as a precursor to the Norwich Science Festival.  To break the current world record I will need to lecture for over 5 days! Any pennies you can donate would be greatly appreciated and will drive me on in my World Record attempt. 

I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page.
