Stuart Kettell.One man fundraising army!

.

Today I read about a chap named Stuart Kettell and the amazing fundraising events that he has undertaken to raise cash for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Micro-light flights,Penny Farthing rides,canoe trips and hanging from cranes in a glass box for a week are just some of the amazing things he has done.

So far he has raised over £25'000 for the charity, and judging by his capacity to come up with novel and interesting fundraising ideas, I am sure there will be many more in the future :-)

Visit Stuarts website by clicking HERE to see what he's been up too over the last four years and perhaps you could sponsor him in his next mad adventure.

Well done Stuart :-)

Oi!.What about the photographs and video ?


Ok.Just thought that I would mention that due to a technical problem (my kids broke the laptop...again!), The promised video,pictures of the trip are, as of today, still on Glens hardrive caddy thingy !, and until the very nice man from Dell comes over and sorts out the laptop that has now lovingly been christened "Triggers broom" due to it having (so far!) 2 new screens,3 motherboards,2 batteries,2 keyboards,2 power supplies and several bits of plastic case, I will not be able to do any serious editing and the likes. I bet Dell will see a sudden surge in their profit margins when my 9300 comes out of warranty in December :-).

Funny, but I seem to think of loads of things that I can post here on the blog during any day of the week.Then when I get around to actually putting finger to key...it all goes terribly blank and I end up writing any old lard just to fill in the post!....see, just done it there ! :-)

Oh yes.Fundraising wise I have now got great pleasure in telling you that the £1500 target for Leukaemia Research has now been met (Hoorah!), and Glen is not too far behind with his collection for Macmillan currently pushing £1200. The Air Ambulance collection was always going to be a little lower due to it being a shared charity between myself and Glen, but even so, we have managed just over £400 with a further £100 being added shortly.That's enough for one mission I believe...and a sandwich each for the crew!.
