Hi everyone - thanks for taking the time to visit here. Hopefully after you've finished reading my blurb, you'll be compelled to support my insane endeavour. So, thanks for that, you beautiful individual.

I've been shooting arrows since last July as a means of exercise and trying something new. It's a ton of fun, even in the excuse for summer we get around here, in the south of the UK. While I'm nowhere near the Olympic level of the South Koreans (or even the British) I'm improving with each session, with my bare-bow.

One of the other club members approached me and asked if I'd like to do a 24 hour session for MacMillan in mid-June. 720 arrows over a 24 hour period. 12 tournament style sessions over a day. Indoors and out. Here's why I jumped at the chance without a moment's thought.

2016, for all was a pretty shit year, right? Well, imagine that over Christmas, your mother received the news she had breast cancer. A stage two, grade one ductal carcinoma in situ. It SUUUUUUUUUCKED. deflates everything about Christmas, and capped off a terrible year.

Thankfully, following the sterling work done by our NHS, Tony Blair (her name for the cancer, as it was a right tit) Mum came through cancer clear and finished her radiotherapy in April. 

Helping one of the strongest women I know go through the whole ordeal, with the brilliant help of her close friends was an absolute privilege. Mum knows how much I admire her wisdom, tenacity and the grace she showed when undergoing these therapies, and I want to try and help give back to the people who helped her, directly or indirectly.

So, I agreed to help the charity in any way I could. I want o help people who've undergone the same amount of therapy mum's gone through. I want to help the families of people who are undergoing this brutal and horrible malady. And I want help MacMillan. And that's where you lovely people come in.

I'd love it if you could sponsor me to put myself through this 24 hour period. Anything at all would be absolutely brillant.

Thankyou.

Mike.
