As most of you know I'm usually an Engineer but in my spare time I also run a tennis league for over 120 fit and healthy 11-18 year old children in Lancashire. Unfortunately not all children are this capable. Imagine hearing the worst possible news that your child is, or is becoming seriously ill and not expected to live to be a teenager or an adult.

Claire House Children's Hospice has two centres in the North West and helps parents create wonderful experiences for their children and bring back a sense of normality to family life. By providing specialist nursing care and emotional support, Claire House helps families smile again when life couldn’t get any tougher.

I am also a big James Bond fan and a keen member of 007GB Fan Club. Similar to Sir Roger Moore (UNICEF) I am hoping to raise funds for Claire House to also support many children and families in the Area by leaping out of a plane dressed of course in 007 style - a Tuxedo and Bow Tie.
