"I am only able to attempt this event because of
my ever loving and supportive extended family &
friends. I also do it because of them. They have had
faith in me no matter what I have tried to do in
life and have never judged me whatever the
outcome; no-one more so than my wife, Dee. They
have instilled in me a belief that I can do this.





I am also blessed with two incredible daughters
who, like all children, deserve to be given the best
opportunities, the best support, no matter what life
throws in their path. I often wonder what would
happen if they should ever be in need of
organisations such as
the Day of Difference;
what if those organisations didn’t exist? SO I
proudly do it for those who give their time to these
organisations, for my children, and for all those
children these two Foundations will help.

And I may have a screw loose………….."
