Help support Rhys campaign

THROUGHOUT my Great 08 Challenge I plan on raising money for the ECHO’s brilliant Liverpool Unites campaign against gun crime.
The initial aim of the campaign is to generate funds for a community centre in Rhys Jones’s name, but there are plenty of other initiatives to follow.
For each event I will be encouraging sponsorship from readers – with the added incentive that one lucky sponsor will receive a sporting prize in relation to my task.
For my first event, athletics, one reader who pledges a minimum of just £1 will be entered into a draw to receive a personalised and signed running vest from Merseyside’s leading Beijing Olympics hope, Southport’s 800m runner Michael Rimmer.
And that’s just the start of it. I have VIP racing tickets, a top of the range tennis racket, signed boxing gloves, a signed rugby league shirt and plenty of other goodies ready to lavish on Great 08 supporters.
I’ll also be opening a sportsbook online so you can bet – for fun of course – on how I will get on, ie: “Will Nick need to be rescued by a lifeboat during his swim across the River Mersey?” Tick yes!
So, play your part over the next year. Make a donation to a great charity online or through the post to the usual address.
