In order to try and raise as much money as possible for the RSPCA and to keep me motivated to complete the 40 challenges, I agreed for an interview in the South Wales Echo. I really expected a very small piece and although grateful as hopefully it will help to get more people to sponsor me, I was not expecting a double page spread!
When the photographer came round I must admit, I was dying of embarrassment then as the photos were so cheesy! I kept saying I'm going to look awful, but the photographer was very reassuring and at one point even said... "You remind me a little of the newsreader Susannah Read" Blimey I thought the photos must be better than I thought as I bear little resemblance to the Breakfast stunner at the best of times!
When I saw the photos today however, yes I thought I do look a little like Susannah ............................................................if you are blind in one eye and clearly very drunk!!!!!
Sure enough very soon friends and colleagues all started getting wind of the coverage and proceeded to mercilessly take the mick out of me all day, or just wetting themselves laughing! It has to be said though whilst explaining to my mate Gus how to donate to my charity or to choose a charity of her choice she came back with the best quip of the day! She said that she would prefer to donate to a special charity called MUPPET as it is very close to her heart as she has a friend who suffers from the Muppet infliction. It stands for 'Most Unflattering Press Photo Ever Taken"!!!
So to see this stunning picture, check out the spread or the online coverage and judge for yourself the muppet qualities, look below. But the most important thing is look at the fundraising link as surely laying my pride on the line in the name of fundraising is worth a tenner??
