This year Selwood the company I have worked for for the past 21 years celebrates its 75th Anniversary and the group through various charity events is looking to raise £75,000 (75 for 75)
The Great North Air Ambulance also helped a close cycling colleague who had to be flown to hospital with serious injuries after a crash on his bike.
So please dig deep and support this fantastic charity.
