This year, im embarking on my first marathon.

"Whhhhhat?? That dude can't run!!" I hear you say, and you're right, I'll be doing a marathon Shakespeare walk around Stratford Upon Avon.

As its an opportunity to open the dress up box, I'll be doing it as the Bard himself.

As if that's not enough, to raise as many funds as possible, some friends and I are producing a concert on 28th September @ 2.30, The Raiway, Leyland.

Please Be generous, please be kind and help me raise a thick wad for this amazing charity.

Many people find it hard to speak openly or ask for help, but talking can be life-saving – whether it's with a colleague, family member, friend or helpline like Samaritans. Every 10 seconds, Samaritans volunteers respond to a call for help. Samaritans are available, for free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to listen and support people with whatever they are facing, with no judgement. It’s only your kind donations and 23,000 listening volunteers that ensure Samaritans can always be there for anyone struggling to cope. Thank you for your help.
