Coming up to 50% of my £5k total! Thank you so much. If you can spare a few £s that would be a great help! Also make me accountable for walking 66miles in September!!! www.justgiving.com/page/paul-hi...

After all of your amazing donations I’ve started on the journey to my £5k target! Finley’s Touch’s an amazing charity and really helps ease some of the stress that families will go through. You’ll also be helping a child have fun while in hospital!

September 8th I’m marching from The Oval We Have Ways HQ to WHWfest26. 66 miles over 3 days. Not sure it’s a sensible idea. Please donate so I can’t back out! All for a wonderful charity @FinleysTouch www.justgiving.com/page/paul-hi...
