Had a fantastic night for HHHO Ball. Our friend Matty always gets a table. Caught up with some Help Harry Help Others friends, I can't thank Harry enough for the friendships I have made through the charity. I haven't seen most of them for 4 years. Suzanne unfortunately was poorly so couldn't attend.
The food was delicious. I had to keep taking photographs of my friend Jonathan's food as I kept starting to eat mine!
I also meet two School Business Managers who I tweet with so it was really nice to meet Andrea and Shirley. They were sitting on the TEL Group table. I had my one and only drink paid for the owner David - Sumbuca as I was running this morning.
This year the Ball was celebrating 10 years since the Charity was sent up. It would have been Harry's 23rd Birthday on 22nd February. The evening was an important reminder of how special Harry was. He raised £370,000 before he died by making bracelets, organising events to sell them, sponsored events, schools initiative (telling pupils about making and selling bracelets) and visiting business where he would have the attention of the whole audience from business, celebrities and football teams, some of which are still involved in HHHO.
Georgie, Harry's mum and my friend, set up the charity to continue Harry's dream to help raise money to help those with Cancer and also their families. Something that was needed but missing when Harry and his friend Robert were so poorly. We saw a recap of some of things HHHO does to support those with Cancer and their families.

Gave me even more inspiration to train and complete the London Marathon to raise money for this wonderful charity.
