Movember Update
Friday, November 11th, 2011Just a quick update on what’s been happening this month with our Movember Campaign.
We’re about a third of the way through the month and I’m ever so impressed with everyone’s generosity. I’ve personally raised £150 and our team of mo’s have raised about £1500 so far.

Today I’m focussing on someone much closer to home.
At the age of 14 Michelle was raped at knifepoint. However, she was determined [...]
Never Give Up
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011Matthew McConaughey tells the story of this year’s Arthur Ashe Award for courage winner, Dewey Bozella.
Dewey Bozella was locked up for 26 years, for a crime he did not commit. This is a story about the triumph of human spirit and living proof of the saying “never give up”.
