What will you be doing for others in 2013?

[Tony]

2013 is upon us, so will you be selflessly doing something for others over the coming year?

 

Something that's just for them, not for you? Maybe a good cause, charity, neighbours, your city, your country, or folk in general?

 

Don't be shy, let's hear what you're planning to make the world a better place.

Altruism always does something for me as well so I technically couldnt answer, however I'll be running a Scout group for the foreseeable future.

What do others do for us, other than creep into the country then scrounge all they can they've done sod all for me so I'll do likewise in return.

Why don't you start us off then Tony?

I already donate financially to two charities on a monthly basis (would give to more but can't afford it) and give my time, knowledge, phone and diesel costs and whatever donated goods I can to a whole selection of others, including animal rescue, a hospice, a cancer support charity and a medical support charity overseas.

 

This year looks like it could get financially harder which will limit how much I can do in all sorts of ways, so it will come down to giving time and knowledge rather than money.

Unless you're homeless, racked with cancer or some starving child on the street there's not much point in donating to you.

No mate I'm just at stage 3 with heart failure and cannot do anything round the home, or play with my grandkids, but same as always, I'll carry on fighting and looking after myself along with my loving family.

Me Max? Crikey, well all of the above to a greater or lesser extent I suppose, but sadly it looks like I might have to drop my NHS Volunteer role to make space in my diary for a new social enterprise later this year. The British Transplant Games might keep me on the hook a while longer - we'll see.

 

How about you? I know that you do quite a bit locally, have you much planned for this year?

Running a marathon in aid of the Coronary Care Unit at the Northern General Hospital.
