Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

This being my 50th year on this Earth, I want to do something that will make a difference to some ones life in some way.

I have this wonderful opportunity to raise funds for  The Footprints Foundation and visit the orphanages in South Africa in Oct 2015, where I will personally do some hard graft to improve their environment. 

Do not underestimate the difference your money makes, we are talking about children who are orphaned, abandoned, sexually abused & are HIV positive.

I am not expecting this to be a jolly but an emotional heart wrenching but also uplifting experience.

I am so honoured and delighted to have this opportunity. I am so lucky to have a number of friends, colleagues and family that will be helping me on my quest.

My aim is to also to have a number of events through out the year to raise money and include as many of the different communities (and from different countries) I am a member of.

Next Events:

AUCTION OF A CHELSEA SHIRT SIGNED BY THE MAGNIFICENT ZOLA.
