Sometimes something comes along that makes you think 'I could do that', but it's something totally out of your comfort zone?
Well, on Bank Holiday Monday, the 26th May 2008, I, along with a load of my colleagues from work, will be rowing my heart out for Martin House Hospice doing a Dragon Boat race in Roundhay Park in Leeds. It's an all day thing, starting at 10am until 5pm, with races throughout the day. I shall definitely be knackered and earning my sponsorship money
For those of you who don't know,
Martin House is a Yorkshire hospice for Children and young people who really don't have an awful lot to look forward to in life. It is a place they can go to with their families for love, care and respite, to enjoy their limited, potentially short life, and also gives their hard-working families a chance for a break as being a carer is a hard and thankless task.
I'm the first to admit I'm not a charity-type person at all. I give, but only when I believe in a cause. This is one, as a parent myself, I can identify with wholeheartedly.
So guys and gals - please dig deep and see what you can do for me
