Prospex the Charity I head up was shortlisted for the Faithworks award that took place on 8th June in the House of Commons.

Beef is planning to try and swim 22 miles during February 2009 the same distance as the English Channel to raise funds for Prospex.
This equates to 1416 lengths in a 25m pool.
Put another way starting on the 1st February he will have to swim 47.2 lengths everyday to complete the challenge.

I have also recieved some speaking engagements through it which I love doing so that encourages me to keep it up.
I will be posting some new content real soon.
