This week has been grrreeat - I am just in a really good mood.
We are 19 days closer to the big YAG holiday in the south of France and I’m gonna get my party on.
Today, however, I've been trained by my work mate Cat in corporate fundraising. Look out businesses, I’m coming!
I am a bit sad today because Alex - one of our fundraisers - is leaving. I wish him all da best, it has been great working with him.
This week, I feel there is only one way and that is up.
Peace out peeps.

Sorry it's been a while but I have been a bit under the weather. So here is my update:
Fav programme: Supernatural
Still like South Park
This last week or so has been fantastic - a dragon came to Richard House, Mr Duncan Bannatyne - the man himself. Take a look at the pictures here.
Mr Duncan Bannantyne attended the Richard House Oscar awards along with Miss Commonwealth - our very own Hayley Mac. The Richard House Oscars really does show the true heart of this wonderful place. It is thanks to people like this and you, the Harry's Million supporters, who make this possible.
So remember to give whatever you can to my Harry's Million campaign at
www.facebook.com/harrysmillion or by texting ARRY01 £5 to 70070.
And don't forget to check out my Year One update video on the Facebook page to see how you have made a difference and can continue to make a difference to the lives of the life-limited children and their families at Richard House.
Thanks, I’m out!

Friday 16 September:
Hi all here is my update.
It has been a slow week to be honest. Monday we had our YAG day at St Joseph's Hospice in Hackney.
We had a tour of the place which was huge, there was a quiz and we had an activity called pimp my wheelchair and not forgetting graffiti art. It was great fun, but don’t worry no property was damaged during the mayhem lol.
Yesterday I attended Lawrence Graham's Charity of the Year event. It was very exciting and my chance to introduce the Harry’s Million campaign. I got to mingle with some of our long-standing supporters which was good fun.
There has been a great response from da public to the campaign so far and thanks to this support we are being able to change the life of children.
But don’t forget we are aiming for £1 million so please give wat ya can.

Thursday 8 September:
Here is my update.
Sorry for the lateness. Not been very well but I am back now, was feeling a bit rough.
So what’s new…. Our Eid celebration is taking place this weekend at Richard House, so to all - happy Eid.
Me and Neil (our Transition team leader) have finished our jailbreak, couldn’t get any flights but we decided to walk 20 miles! From the tower of London to Leatherhead but stopped at 18 miles at Children’s Trust in Surrey, where we gave loads of toys and sweets. We raised loads of money for Richard House at the same time.
It was a great opportunity to publicise Harry’s Million, with Neil wearing the Giant Harry’s head for the challenge. The reactions from the public were fantastic. Some children loved him, while others were not so sure - ha ha!
I have learnt from my colleagues that to be a good fundraiser, you have to go above and beyond to be as good as these guys and I am proud - I am getting there.
We raised roughly £450 which will fund one night of respite for a child at Richard House.
I just want to say a big thank you to the kind people of Surrey, you know who ya are.
Also a big thanks to all who sponsored us.

Hi everyone, this is my update.
This week I am very excited because as you may have seen, my friend Simon Cowell sent me a video message to share with you all. Visit www.facebook.com/harrysmillion to watch it.
And as Simon says, whatever you can donate will make a real difference to my campaign to help provide vital care for life-limited children at Richard House. We can't help them without you...
Please text ARRY01 £5 (or whatever you would like to donate e.g. £3) to 70070. Thank you.
I am also very excited because this Saturday is our jailbreak event at the Tower of London that me and one of our very own nurses, Neil, will be competing in. The object of the game is to break out and get as far as poss in 24hrs.
Unfortunately I could not get any flights “not naming but thanks B.A. three methods of requests and still three big no’s”
But being as stubborn as I am will be trying to help some children in or around London.
We will be videoing the progress in the event. I will still however try and visit the orphanage in Africa another day.
Wish me luck peace out.
Friday 19 August:
Hi everyone, this is my update.
The Inbetweeners movie is finally here full of comedy madness and cringe-worthy moments. I will be defo be down to see that as soon as I can get the people at Richard House organised to go with me. I wonder who is the Jay, Neil, Will and Simon of the office....leave that with me and I'll come back to you next week on what I think up.
Great!!!
I am still hopeful that I will reach my goal of getting the much-needed funds for the children of Richard house, with the help of my Harry’s Million campaign.
Last Saturday was the celebration of rakhi (brother and sister day) so to all my fellow people a late Happy Rakhi. May you treasure the sisters you have and the sisters you find in life. Because you don’t realise how special they are until they’re gone.
I am out. Peace.
Stats: tired.

Hi everyone, it's my update.
Fav song: Eminem - Lighters ft. Bruno Mars & Royce Da 5'9
Still like Wretch 32 Unorthodox (feat Example)
My thoughts for this week:
Well there has been some craziness going on in London. 110 people have been arrested for rioting and looting. I feel so sorry for the people who have made lives for themselves and lost it all in one night.
On a brighter note, it has been a month of birthdays, so a big happy birthday to all this month.
I am very excited to say that this week I will be working with our corporate fundraising team. This will be a great experience, so a huge thanks to Richard House again. It is thanks to them I get opportunities like this.
Don't forget to donate - we need £1 million over within three years and have not yet reached £50,000.
Text ARRY01 £5 to 70070 to donate now.
Stats: Happy, hopeful and very tired.

My thoughts for this week:
I just had the YAG (Young Adults Group) day this Monday. We went to our local fire station - don’t worry no equipment of ours caught fire lol!
We all got Neil (the YAG team leader) with the fire hose, it had to be done!!
Lucky for him the weather was hot, well funny. I got to try some of the gear on, check my pics on this blog coming soon.
You can see a couple of pics from my recent scuba dive on www.facebook.com/harrysmillion - it was great fun. I can’t wait for the next session.
Without the support from you, the public, none of this would be possible. There would be no Richard House and no Harry’s Million campaign to help change lives or do extraordinary things for these life-limited children and their families, so a big thanks from me and remember to keep giving, coz without you there is no Harry’s Million.
Text ARRY01 £5 to 70070 or donate online at the top of this page. Or you can even send me a cheque!

Hi everyone it’s my update.
Fav program - The Pranker on BBC Three and I still Like Angry Boys on BBC Three.
My thoughts for this week:
Tomorrow it is one of my YAGs (Young Adults Group) mates birthday so a big shout to my boy Ravi for his 22nd.
Today we will be going scuba diving training as one of the new YAGs projects. I can’t wait - if we do well in the three session training we will be diving in an aquarium.
With all the awesome things going it still makes me think how lucky we still are to still have Richard House.
You can help keep it that way by donating to Harry's Million.

Friday 15 July:
What a busy but exciting week it has been.
Fav song - Still Jason Derulo Don't Wanna Go Home what a great club tune
My thoughts this week:
On Monday afternoon the young adults group went on a boat trip. The weather was perfect and great fun was had by all. We went down to the South Bank where we were able to enjoy all sorts of entertainment. I even saw an escapologist which was interesting.
On the same day I also went to St Thomas Hospital where we had an induction to scuba diving. I'm hoping to give scuba diving a go at some point in the near future. It's something I thought I'd never be able to do so I'm very excited that I'm being given the chance.
I was also interviewed this week for the Richard House book that is being put together. The book, which is to be launched in November, includes staff, families, volunteers and anyone else who has played a part in making Richard House what it is today.
I am still working on my Jailbreak challenge which I am undertaking in August. My aim along with my colleague Neil is to get to South Africa so we're currently working on blagging free flights.
Stats: Upbeat looking forward to going for a drink after work.
Friday 08 July:
Welcome to my blog this week. Happy Friday.
Fav song - Jason Derulo Don't Wanna Go Home
My thoughts this week:
I went to the London City Airport open day to help raise awareness of Richard House and my campaign Harry’s Million. It was great fun.
I am preparing for Richard House's Jailbreak event on the 27 August. The challenge involves escaping from the Tower of London and trying to get as far away as possible in 24 hours without spending any money. My aim is to get to Africa with my colleague Neil Williamson. I am trying to blag some free flights at the minute but it's proving quite a task.
YAG is on Monday I am looking forward to that.
Stats: mood is hopeful and I am well tired.
Have a good weekend!

Last week we had the BBQ at our monthly Young Adults Group get together at Richard House. The box to the BBQ caught fire! It was a real sight seeing Neil, one of our nurses, run round like a headless chicken! But no harm done.
I also interviewed one of my heroes, Ade Adepitan - a well know paralympian and a really nice guy. He truly is an inspiration. You can see my quick fire interview at www.facebook.com/harrysmillion
And finally, it is bloody hard trying to get flights for jailbreak but I am still trying. If you can help me, please let me know!
Stats: mood is average and I am well tired.
