Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well it's my Birthday today!! I'm 43 and just want what any 43 year old guy wants ... Illuminated fire door signage!

Why? (How could you ask that?)
Well apart from the fact that it glows in the dark, which is really the only reason you need, the museum HAS to have these installed before we can open to the public. It's part of what we need to do to meet health and safety standards. Which is fair enough. There's actually a lot more that needs done to but I'd really like to be able to donate the signs to the museum. Can you help me in my quest?

Go on ... it is my Birthday, and I've been good all year. Well, most of it ...
