Andrew Wheelhouse
is raising

for
Ripple Africa
About
It all started when the lovely people at Master of Malt (https://www.facebook.com/masterofmalt?fref=photo) ran a competition offering an extremely rare, not-available-for-sale 3 litre bottle of Glenfarclas 105 cask strength(!) All I had to do explain in 105 characters of less, why I was most deserving of the prize. I decided that it was necessary to go hard or go home. So this was my reply:
"I will run from London to your office to collect it to raise money for charity. Whilst dressed as a bee."
And much to my consternation they decided to take me up on the offer. To run to their office. In Tunbridge Wells.
So here I am. I am going to run from Orpington (technically still in London) to Tunbridge Wells, whilst dressed as a bee. It is about 20 miles and I want to raise £100 for every mile to donate to Ripple Africa to provide secondary school scholarships to children in Malawi.

If we hit our target it will provide enough funds to allow 16 children to attend Kapanda Secondary School for a year with change left over.
I guarantee that what I lack in physical fitness of any sort I will more than make up for in sartorial aplomb.
We have less than 2 weeks to hit our target so, you know, no pressure.
