Bumping the Give Blood call. I've been today and, coincidentally there was a news appeal today. 

 

BBC News - O-type blood donors needed after London cyber-attack

It's an hour of your time, it's painless and you get free biscuits 😋 

To others, it's a matter of life and death.

Take it from someone who’s main fear in life is needles, it really is painless. I s**t myself far more at the covid jab and other travel jabs, I don’t even feel the blood needle going in. 
Also free biscuits = feast. I have biscuits, chocolates, few bags of crisps after every donation min

I'm selling myself short, I only had a kitkat!

 

Well done you though for disregarding your dislike of needles and donating.

Some of you might remember about 3 years ago, I did the 'Longest Day' golf challenge for Macmillan and you lot outdid yourselves by helping me and a mate make a lot of money.

 

Well, this year, I'm back. With a bigger challenge!

 

On 19th June, we'll be teeing up at sunrise and heading to the 19th hole (more like the 91st hole) at sunset.

 

Playing golf all day, at least 16 hours, I think a bit more, in aid of our local cancer respite hospice, Cynthia Spencer.

 

Joining me will be my step-son and my nephew. They lost their grandfather, my father-in-law, almost 3 years ago. Cynthia Spencer did so much for him regarding end of life care. They even had a nurse with him at home, by his bedside, when he lost his battle with cancer. 

 

She was simply incredible and supported Dave and the family through the toughest of times.

 

On the challenge, we'll walk the whole way and carry our bags, no buggies or trollies allowed. We'll probably each cover around the distance of a marathon.

 

We'd all be incredibly grateful if you can donate anything you can.
