He was very pleased with his time of 1 hour and 48 minutes - many congratulations from us all! He says he enjoyed every moment of the run, `especially knowing the money raised was going to such a lovely cause, which holds a big place in our family’s heart`.

Fun Auction
"To the staff of the Michael Palin Centre.
I visited you in March for an assessment and I am now having speech therapy with my local speech therapist. It is nice for me to have speech therapy because I have struggled with my talking for a long time.
On Easter Sunday we had a BBQ and we did a charity auction. All my family were at my house my mum auctioned 2 hours of cleaning, my sister auctioned 1 hour of her time to clean polish and dust the house. I auctioned a car cleaning service and the funniest of all was my dad who had his legs waxed for the charity!
We raised a whopping £70 which we are donating to the Michael Palin Centre
Thank you for your time and expertise. We hope to see you in the summer. "
