So this should be easy right? 1000+ linkedin connections and 600+ FB friends. I only need half of you to donate the price of a fru fru coffee and we can do some tangible good.

On Friday 3rd October I’m Boycotting My Bed and sleeping out in London to raise money for Action for Children. The thing is, no matter how cold and miserable I might feel, I can go inside, wrap up in warm clothes, have a hot meal and put the heating on afterwards.

Tonight, many children will go to bed hungry. Struggle to sleep in a cold, damp house. And start the next day without a warm coat or shoes that fit.

Here’s the deal. I’m not asking you to part with hard earned savings but many of you, like me, are fortunate enough to buy coffees from over-priced barristas or get them free at the office. Some will be fortunate to have their fancy lunch paid for on expenses. All I’m asking is for is for all my colleagues and friends to donate a fiver in lieu of one of those coffees (or more if you are feeling generous and that freebie meal at the swanky restaurant was really good!). I'll even buy you the coffee back if we catch up in person!

So do something special, feel good about yourself, donate a fiver and make a difference. ❤️
