He broke his neck in a training accident 18 months ago and is now paralysed from the neck down, he even needs a ventilator to breathe for him.  I am going to set up a website and I have also set myself a huge target of £100,000.  This is very daunting and I will appreciate any help, suggestions, money etc etc from anyone.  I need help with corporate sponsorship and also marketing the website that Phil T has agreed to help me with.  I shall keep you all informed on how things are going.

Whilst waiting in reception there were lifesize photos of the stars on the walls, like Martin Johnson and Martin Corry the current England Captain.   The sales manager came out to meet us and after a brief chat it was time to try on the Tiger suit. It was very complicated and it took me 3 attempts to put the darn thing on, finally the head went on.  It was very claustrophobic and hot, after a couple of photos for the website I went for a little run.  This stunt is going to be A LOT HARDER than I first thought.  The vision is massively reduced and it is impossible to judge distance, the head bounces and the fan inside the head does not work.  So apart from that it is all systems go!!!! The support that I am going to get from Leicester is fantastic, however I am going to have to really push myself to raise the funds for this. Target of £100,000.  The running will be the easy part.  I am still looking for any help with fund raising initiatives, corporate sponsorship etc.  I won't be offended if anyone out there would like to help.
