Now look here my friends - I am 65, there is really nothing that I need - apart from winning the lottery and a holiday in the sun - so instead of a birthday present it would be just great if you would help the charity of my choice in celebration of this birthday.

I would like to raise £650 - just ten pounds for every year of my life - if we get that far - I may raise the bar! (rather than just prop up the bar)

Thank you in advance for your help!
