Scirocco 50 LLR Prints Signed by Sir Ian Botham arrived back today :-)

.

Had a message on a slip from the Post Office this afternoon saying that they had a parcel for me at the depot.....but I would need to pay them £1.81 because the postage had not been paid by the sender :-). No worries, more than worth £1.81 to get the signed prints of the car back from Sir Ian, and now I can start to get them out to the people who have requested one.

If anyone else would like one of these limited edition prints (only 250 to be made), please drop me a line and place an order.

Right. Better get organized and get some of the pre ordered ones off to their buyers now then :-)

Many thanks to Sir Ian for sorting this out for me, hopefully now I can start getting some cash in for the charity.

Leukaemia patient Maddi Green to walk with Sir Ian Botham

A ten-year-old leukaemia patient from Worcester is going on a charity walk with Sir Ian Botham.

Maddi Green will join the cricketing legend in the grounds of Croome Court, near Worcester on Monday 12 April. The walk begins in the Worcester High Street, and goes for ten miles through the city, before ending up at Croome Court. Sir Ian is walking through ten towns over ten days, to raise money for the charity he is president of.

Maddi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in February 2008. Her father Jerry said: "Maddi had been feeling unwell, had lost her appetite and was looking pale - which is why our GP had asked for a blood test.
"Twenty-four hours later Maddi's diagnosis was confirmed, and in that single day, her life and the lives of everyone who loves her, changed forever." She has lost her long brown hair three times due to chemotherapy treatments, and is due to finish her treatment in April, the same month as the charity walk.

To join Sir Ian and Maddi on the Croome Park Walk on the 12th April or any of his other walks, follow this link to sign up for Beefy's Great Forget-Me-Not Walk .

Scarlett's first outing.Beefy Botham's walk at Croome Park Worcester.

The date for Scarlett's first "official" outing in support of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research has now been decided. She will be attending Sir Ian Botham's Forget Me Not walk at Croome Park on the 12th April 2010. If you are attending the park for the event then please feel free to pop across to the registration area and say hello and have a closer look at the car.

Worcester is approx 125-130 miles from Sleaford, so do also keep a look along the route out as you drive down there for a 22 foot long 6 wheeled,articulated Red Scirocco driven by yours truly !.

Right, all I have to worry about now is getting the graphics on the car, sorting out the fitting of the alloy wheels and giving the car a bit of a polish.....still, got a good 20 days to do it in.....gulp!.

If you are not already aware of the 10 day "back to back" walk itinerary that Sir Ian will be doing, here is a link to the website for more details: http://www.beefy25.com/

And this is a map of our suggested route down to the venue at Croome Park: ROUTE .

Beefy Botham is off on new walk in aid of leukaemia research's 50th Anniversary

England cricket great Sir Ian Botham unveiled plans for his latest charity walk on Tuesday, saying he would not stop until childhood leukaemia had ceased totally to be a fatal condition.

Former all-rounder Botham's 13th charity walk will start in April next year and take him on a 10-town tour of England.

'Beefy's Great Forget Me Not Walk' will also mark the 25th anniversary of his first trek in aid of leukaemia research, and 2010 will also be the 50th year since the LRF was formed in 1960.
"My walk in 2010 will be extra special for me," Botham said on Tuesday.
"I never forget why I put myself through the pain and blisters. I won't stop until we beat childhood leukaemia. We're up to about 90 percent survival now and that's remarkable."
