With a 30th birthday and a London Marathon attempt for Hazel's Footprints on the horizon, Ian came up with the bright idea of combining the two with a charity bowling night at All Star Lanes, in Bayswater, London.

50 good friends bowled the night away on private lanes complete with their own dedicated American retro bar, pausing only to draw a raffle with some stunning prizes on offer - ranging from holidays to hoovers!

After some reconciliation of the figures in the wee small hours (it took 3 fully qualified accountants) the real result was that the night raised a stunning £1525 for Hazel's Footprints. Amazing - well done Ian!

The very best of luck for the marathon!
