Testing the water. And the air...

So, following on from Walk With The Baron and in direct response to a frustrating lack of press interest and therefore less awareness raising, the next level beckons...

Before Walk 2 in August in a desperate effort to help Headway and raise the profile of brain injury, I'm going to throw myself out of a plane with the Baroness. Now to even get on the plane I must raise £400 as does Sharon. What I'm asking is this...

Any ideas how to get that sort of sponsorship?

I want to do this for no other reason than to get awareness out there. Help...

How about a go fund me page on Facebook?

Really good question, I have always struggled with charity rides and what not. I did toy with the idea of doing the ride london for headway but clearly you should/need a fair amount of sponsorship. which I always struggle with to be honest.

[BaronC in reply to RogerCMerriman]

That's my quandary! Hence the need for press interest. Without it, zero interest, With zero interest, no press interest. It is indeed a vicious circle...

[RogerCMerriman in reply to BaronC]

I think really it’s simply having a brass neck and asking anyone and everyone! My wife is good at that as she should be as part of her job is to chase bills!

Ask James Cracknell.

Tried a year ago, contacted him about Walk With The Baron. No response, sadly
