About me My story

I heard about this at 6.30am one morning and thought that would be fun... now it seems scary since winning the place. I'm on at 12pm to 1pm on the 20th of August.

A bunch of my colleagues at Computacenter are off to Africa to build schools for under privileged kids in South Africa later this year and I thought I would help them raise money for this trip and the selected charities we support:

Macmillan Cancer Support - improving the lives of those affected by Cancer

The Willow Foundation - providing special days for 16-40 year olds who are seriously ill

The Children's Trust - providing care, education, therapy and rehabilitation to children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs

My first memory of Trafalgar Square was feeding the pigeons at about the age of 6... something you cannot do any longer - so I thought it would be fun to be a pigeon for my hour and feed the crowd instead! Why not give me some support for this mad idea by sponsoring me... every little bit will help make life much better for many.

Many thanks for your support!

HI Chris...unfortunately I think I'm probably a foot smaller than you and couldn't dance around like you did but it's a fabulous costume (although I didn't wear the strange grey fluffy shorts!!)...didn't you think the response of people to the pigeon was great...I loved that bit...people actually clapped when I came down! Hope you made lots of money>

Cheers.

Well done Chris, it takes bottle to do what you have done. You must get your sense of fun from being continually washed by sea water. Margaret and I shall be happy to support you.

Great cause to support and wonderful performance Chris...

You'd be a great man to have a beer with.

as for "Skeptic"... I would assume that the website run by bmycharity needs staff and needs webservers.. and I would think that they need money to pay for that. As long as their service fee is as small as is possible I can't see a problem... besides "skeptic" himself maybe.

Chris, that was one gloriously daft performance that had me giggling. I suspect you're a bloke who retains more than a touch of the fun-loving kid - and that's all to the good. Congratulations for raising a smile and raising money for a worthy cause.

Ignore Sceptic, Get a Life, nothing is perfect. Any way to get money thru is useful.

PS So good that BTBroadband has upped it's game in the SE and we can get the live feed again

Sorry, as Bmycharity (like Justgiving) make a charge to the charity for "services", it is incorrect to state that "all money raised will go to charity", therefore I will not be donating through your website.
