You may remember that I've posted previously, detailing the exploits of Mr Ajax Kentish and his Help.A.Bartender mission.
To remind you, or if you haven't heard;
Elias
Vlahos was involved in a terrible motorcycle accident. He sustained massive
injuries and, as a result, was left requiring extensive surgery and treatments.
In order to pay for those treatments, Elias has sold his worldly possessions to
be able to go back to leading a normal life (or at least as normal as any other
bartender could have), but he still needs in the region of €30-50,000 to receive the
surgery he requires. Enter Ajax Kentish. Stepping up for his friend Elias, Ajax
has pledged to cycle from Athens to London in under 1 month to raise money for
Elias. This is a noble act for a very worthy cause, one which I feel compelled
to help out with, in any way I can. Unfortunately I can’t take up the adventure
of cycling through Europe to raise the funds needed, however, I can put myself
through something equally as tough on my body...
Further developments are in the works but to date, Ajax has sercured some very prominent sponsors for his greek odyssey. Head over to Help.A.Bartender for the latest updates.
From our end, up in Aberdeen, there are a few irons in the fire but confirmed yesterday was my contribution to the cause:
For 1 month(28 days), I will
undertake a SPONSORED FAST to help raise funds and awareness for Elias.
To
clarify;
I WILL
NOT eat solid food.
I WILL NOT drink alcohol
and
I will ONLY receive sustenance via liquid
supplements (water, vitamin drinks and protein drinks as I'm not about to walk around work with an I.V. line in my arm).
The reasoning behind this being that when Elias was in
hospital, he was fed intravenously and in this way, I will (to a very small
extent) be able to put myself through some of the rigors Elias’ body went through
during his recuperation.
If you would like to sponsor me in this venture,
please get in touch. I will begin on the 4th of June and finish on the 1st of July. I will have sponsorship forms in 99 Bar & Kitchen, my tips will go as donations, you can get hold of me via Facebook, Twitter etc. You may donate straight away (preferred) or I can collect any and all donations after the fast has been completed.
My thanks for your
support, in advance.
