Hi Everyone

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I have been back in hospital because my lungs took a turn for the worse again. Made even worse by there being an outbreak of norovirus in the hospital so it was closed to visitors - nightmare!

I am afraid I am on the scrounge now though, I am doing a sponsored walk in May from Rugby to Twickenham, it is 110 miles and we are doing it in 7 days. The walk is in aid of Matt Hampson ( a rugby player who is a ven dependant quad after a training accident. Matt has chosen three charities that the funds raised will be going to, these are the Matt Hampson Trust, the Rugby players benevolent trust and special effect, who use technology to overcome disability in young children. There is more information on the charities on my sponsorpship page, along with a link to the walk website which includes the walk details and route etc. I am the only wheelchair user doing the walk and at the moment the only Gloucester fan!

If anyone is interested in sponsoring me here is my page

Sorry again to be asking but even if you don't want to sponsor me then at least the charities can get some publicity out ot it, thanks again everyone
