A tale of two fellas this weekend – one doing what he says he’s good at, the other doing what he hates. Both with the idea that these are the perfect criteria for some good fundraising.

First, we have my mate Sam Thomson, who today jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet. A man who hates flying – and the thought of jumping out of a plane certainly isn’t something Sam would choose to do. I’m in awe of him. The fact that he would do that for me? A true mate. And he’s raising some cracking funds too!

And then we have my good cousin Ian. A fella who openly admits that cardio isn’t his thing, so instead, he chose a sponsored SOMBFA (Sitting On My Big Fat Arse). A carefully selected Saturday, spent hogging the sofa, using social media to commentate on his day. You’ll be pleased to know that, thanks to good planning, Ian took it at a steady pace, no injuries occurred, and he’ll be returning to work on Monday.

Guys, you did this for me – big or small – it’s incredible, and I’ll be forever grateful.
