DES GAYLE: TIGER ON THE RUN

No pain no gain Des

Tigers' Des Gayle is running the British 10k for SpecialEffect

Support him with £2 by texting 'DESI87 £2' to 70070

Our mate Des Gayle is running the British 10k for SpecialEffect. 

Lets get straight to the point here. Des is a Tiger. He's running for SpecialEffect. Its an amazing charity for amazing young people made possible by amazing older people. Though not much older.

Des only joined the SpecialEffect Tigers Cricket Club at the start of the season so many of you Tigers' regulars won't know him. I've spoken to him regularly by email though and I can tell you he is the soundest of blokes.

So why is Des running for SpecialEffect? 

Well, he's a keen gamer, he works in the games industry and he knows the value of the fantastic work carried out by Dr Mick and the SpecialEffect crew.

Here's what Des told me ...

"When I was a kid, I was often left out of doing cool things. Sometimes intentionally but most of the time by accident. I love the work that SpecialEffect do to help all children be involved in all the activities that they love."

Well, that's good enough for me. I'm going to support Des and it would be fantastic if you could support him too. All it takes is a text message.
