it is with great pleasure that I welcome Derek Twigg MP as a Patron of my DWA Campaign

Last Week I help launch a new Charity called Redeemer Aid UK, this charity has been set up to tackle gun and knife crime in Liverpool, they will be using my street survival Skills (Urban First Aid)

It is official, I am Extraordinary, well the NHS Employers think so. The NHS 60th Year book has now been published, given there are 1.3 Million people who work in the NHS to be selected to be one of the 60 Extraordinary people featured is a Great Honour

I have just recieved a Certificate of Achievement from Our Life "Big Drink Debate" as an Individual Winner for my contribution to the development and promoting of the Big Drink Debate and for going above and beyond what was expected of me. Which is really nice.

What an exciting day Sunday was at the Tour of Britian Cycle race in Liverpool, as a member of the Cycling Tourist Club we were asked to help out and Marshal the event, so I got there early and help out with the early races around the Liver Buildings, and boy do they race fast even the young ones. Then we got ready for the race proper, what fun and I really enjoyed my time helping out. We got a T shirt and whistle as a thank you.

On Friday, I had to go to London for a Photo shoot for a book which is coming out in November, more of that when it comes out. Anyway on the train journey back from London, I sat opposite this Young Man and got chatting about things, it turn out that he was David Cameron's new Speech Writer, and he was getting off at Stafford to meet David before David was flying out to Georgia. I mentioned that we had been trying to get a photo of David Cameron, The DWA Poster and Me for ages but we where never in the same place as we were both very busy people. So it was arranged that I too would get of at Stafford Train Station have the photo then all of us would continue on our separate journeys, While chatting with David Cameron I asked if I could possibly Showcase the Don't Walk Away Campaign at his National Conference and he said that he would get his people to try and arrange it.

Last Week I was one of the Guest Speakers at the Halton, Warrington, Cheshire Safeguarding Children Alcohol Conference and DWA is now on the Manchester Pubs and clubs Network wesite. Last week I was invited to The Home Office in London to talk to the Criminal Justice Council.

Well it's been completed, Today Friends of mine joined me in the Cheshire Bikeathon for Leukamia Research Foundation, When I say gruelling the 28 miles was not the problem but the heat, about 100 people from small kids to grandads joined us each covering a distance that they could, the atmosphere was great. I would like to thank the Halton St John Ambulance for providing the First Aid Cover and the Bike Factory Mechanic from Chester for fixing peoples bikes, this support makes all the difference to people like me knowing that there are people there to help if required. When all the money has been collected in we hope to have raised £260.

On Tuesday Night I was asked by News at Ten - ITV News could they film me working with Young People , giving out the Don't Walk Away Message. So we went out and then I was featured on that nights News at Ten. This was because the latest Government Figures state that Young Females have over taken Young Males in the Amount of Alcohol Consumed.
