What your Biggest Donation To Charity

I went to The Beatles Museum in Liverpool

Fantastic Day to celebrate Paul McCartney " when im 64 " Birthday

_________________________________________________________________

I was helping a DJ getting his gear back into the van
Suddenly seen a £5 note .. went past it twice and suddenly picked it up

No one claimed it as i asked around

i could NOT keep the money

So i donated it to The Linda McCartney Fund

The Beatles Museum was so impressed @ what i did and i refused to take the Linda Mccartney Badge aswell

Despite me being a chunky git at the minute (still on a diety thing mind, so shouldn't be too chunky much longer), I did a marathon 5 years ago, the Boston > Skegness 'Seabank' marathon. This years happened yesterday, although I wasn't in any state to compete this year :p

To be honest, when you actually do one, you don't really comprehend quite how far you have actually run / jogged / walked. Being a Seabank marathon, you are literally running with the coastline, and I can still remember the smell today. Pretty manky, middle of June, the air was warm, damp, and with a mouldy seaweed smell!

Anyway, raised several hundred quid, don't remember exactly how much mind.
