The Birmingham-based Gentlemen's Night Out charity held their annual presentation of cheques to deserving charities at the Birmingham Hilton Hotel recently. The money is raised during the year by an annual dinner event and sponsorship of runners in the London Marathon.
The uniqueness of the GNO is that all money raised goes directly to beneficiaries without any deduction for administrative or other overheads whatsoever.
Always a humbling event, this year was no exception and amongst the various guests were the amazing marathon runner Dave Heeley (otherwise known as 'Blind Dave') with his faithful dog Wicksie. Dave achieved worldwide notoriety when he completed 7 marathons in 7 days in 7 continents! He indicated that something even bigger is on the horizon, but wouldn't be drawn any further as to what!
Please vist the GNO website for more information on this remarkable charity.
