First corporate sponsor

My good friends at S & A Parsons, a company I have been advising, supporting and generally working with for the past ten years have kindly agreed to sponsor me to the tune of £2 per mile. Parsons are one of the joys of the work I do in that they are a family firm with a top bloke for an MD but the sort of company you really want to succeed. Don't tell Howard (Parsons the MD) but it is enjoyable just visiting. He thinks I purely do it for the money!!

Training has commenced with getting back to reffing duties last night. Bloody cold mind you not aided by forgetting the trackie botttoms and trying to supervise neanderthalls kicking lumps out of one another in a "quaint" suburb of Chesterfield. Tonight sees me lumbering round a five a side pitch in the pursuit of the ultimate goal... well a half decent shot on target would do. No doubt will have large chunks of my ankles assaulted in the name of fun but then I cannot always claim the greatest subtlety in my approach.

Now up to £1400 so have upgraded the target to £2500 which would pay fopr an hours support of all the Marie Curie nurses in the country which is not a bad aim I feel.
