However, this skydive fundraiser we did last January in (above!) Australia boosted book sales and raised a lot of money for Open Road Visions.

Don’t think it made any difference to my sales...but I am not good at marketing 😳

We did it! £1375 raised for Open Road who support those with addictions and help many recover, though unfortunately not my brother. Uwe (83 years young) loved it so much that he’s going again tomorrow! Many thanks to our kind sponsors. Just Giving page closes in a week.

My book is the story of my brother and has tips for the loved ones of those with substance addiction. Everyone knows someone, and being there for them is important but not easy. No happy ending, but there are moments of humour in the book. Every penny raised is for the Open Road Visions charity.

Many here will know someone who’s struggling with substance dependence. Now my brother Colin is finally at peace from his. A hard time of the year and it’s cold out there. Open Road is a charity that helped him and helps others every day. What we’re doing is less than Colin faced every day.
