Darts can help MS

Recently I have started playing Darts for the Rotary Club of London. It's a fun game, cheap to play and helps my MS with: Balance, Co-ordination, Fine Finger Movement and Adding up quickly with out a calculator! Children and people that may need to sit in a wheelchair can all play and there are lots of fab clubs and competitions all over the UK and abroad. Why not give it a go and even play for a team if you like it!
Here I am playing my first game for The Rotary Club of London, which we won and I got the highest score :0)

Thanks to everyone helped make this happen.

Can you help End Polio Now?

Today is End Polio Day that Rotary Clubs all over the world have been supporting for over 20 years. We are so close to achieving this as we have the tools and means to reach all children but need a little more help.
There are lots of ways we can all contribute. Here are some easy ideas:
#Raise Awareness of this need.
#Raise Funds in local communities.
#Reach Out to find support from business  networks.
#Encourage Advocacy so people understand and Government help may be found which is really needed or polio could rebound back to 10 million cases in next 40 years.

The Nitrolympix 2012

The Nitro FM Radio team went to Germany to cover the 2012  Nitrolympix at the Hockenhiem Ring. Teams from the UK and Europe all participated in the FIA & UEM Racing meet.
The weather was amazing and all teams worked really hard to prepare and maintain their racing cars, dragsters, motor bikes and top fuel speed machines.
The Hockenhiem staff & British UK Nitro Funny Car racing teams also supported the USO that helps wounded warriors (injured war veterans) that have been injured while serving for their country. Here is young Thaliah Gibb helping, a junior dragster driver from the UK. A real star for the future.
Top Fuel Dragster driver Chris Andrews, our British hopeful, was also at the meet, racing for Lucas Oil along with many other amazing teams. Well done everyone and thanks for your time.
