Rich Fulcher (of Mighty Boosh fame) Who’s Calling Christian?

0 Comments | This entry was posted on Mar 22 2010

Rich rang in to Absolute Radio this morning to speak to their breakfast DJ  Christian O’Connell on  the ‘ Who’s Calling Christian’ slot to talk about The Fred Foundation.  The Celebrity that rings in and wins gets £20,000 for his favourite charity so it’s fingers crossed all round.

As some of you already know, back in October Duff  Borer rather recklessly agreed to run this year’s London Marathon on behalf of The Fred Foundation.  With things reasonably on track after a winter of training discontent and many, many (with more to come) circuits of Regents Park, the time has now come to realise the most important aspect – raising money for the charity.  
So now we are asking if you will sponsor him.  You can donate through his Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/Duff-Borer  He is aiming for £5k so if you can dig deep that would be great – every little bit helps.

Thank you so very much.

Dear Friend,
 
Please don’t forget to use the Easyfundraising.org.uk  site, before you make an on line purchase.If you choose The Fred Foundation we recieve a donation each time you buy something. 

 Registration is very easy.

Once you have registered your details will be remembered.
The next time you wish to buy something from -say Amazon, instead of going directly to the Amazon site, you click onto the Easyfundraising site instead, and from there, you click onto Amazon, and away you go.
To get the donation you have to enter the site of your choice from the Easyfundraising site first.
If you save the Easyfundraising site as a favourite, on your computer,  then it is always handy.
I noticed yesterday,that the site has many discounted offers in addition to the normal sales available and some offers of increased donations if you buy before a certain date. I hear you can even order your groceries from Tesco direct through the site.
Happy shopping!

We made it back in one piece….well almost.

The challenge started well as we got to Ben Nevis, Scotland, on time at 5pm Saturday, but then it started to go downhill (pardon the pun) for some:

Casualty 1: Andrew Ryan – He made it up and down Ben Nevis despite apparently fracturing a bone in his foot (some say a minor blister), before having to retire thereafter to Mediterranean sandals and back seat. Read more »
