I am currently embarking on an adventure (or torture as some say!) of a lifetime in which I hope to raise £2000 for each of my chosen charities.  So if you've seen me out running in even the most horrific of weather, this is why!!

Dazfest 2014 - Saturday 22nd February 2014 - Tickets on sale

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:19, 20th Feb, 2014 | 0

In April 2014 Daz Carre will be running the Marathon Des Sables, a 155 mile run through the Sahara Desert which takes place in 100 degree temperatures. This is pretty extreme.

He'll be doing this for the Specsavers Children's Charity and the GSPCA and The Tav has decided to help him out in his fund raising efforts by throwing a party for him - after all, we might not see him again!

The GSPCA are extremely grateful to the Bumblebee Boat Cruise team who this year raised funds on their stand at the North Show in August.

Their stall was extremely busy with Bumblebee face painting and their free drawer of trips on their boat and they managed to raise the grand sum of £235.20.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We must pass on a huge thank you to all of the Bumblebee Boat Cruise team.'
