A bit of fun for Sunday morning!
Had a great time last night at the sporting retirement of one of my oldest friends (and total legend) @hailfabio1. Congratulations on such an amazing career, Stephen, and all the best for the future. We’ve come a long way since infant school at Percy Hedley! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lost Voice Boy has been helping me get ready for the @great_run on Sunday, which I’m taking part in on behalf of @smileforlifechildrenscharity. They are an amazing charity which helps disabled children and young people. There’s still time to sponsor me if you can (link in my stories and bio). I’d really appreciate anything you could give! @gagreflexmanagement @assemarshall
