When I was about 9 years old, I accompanied my father to the funeral of a friend of his, someone who I didn't even know. When we got there, I stayed in a corner waiting for the time to pass. Then a man approached me and said, 'Enjoy life kid, be happy because time flies. Look at me now, I didn't enjoy it.'Then he passed his hand over my head and left. My father, before leaving, forced me to say goodbye to the dead person. When I looked in the coffin, I was horrified to see that the man in the coffin was the same man who had spoken to me! I was so traumatised I couldn't sleep properly. I had terrible nightmares. I was terrified of being alone. I couldn't sleep without a night light for many years. I saw many psychologists, endured much turmoil throughout my adolescent years. It got better as I aged, but I would still occasionally wake up screaming in fear. Years later, I discovered something incredible that changed my life... The bugger had an identical twin...

I don't know if there is a more appropriate thread for this question....but it's a popular thread so hopefully one you fine people can answer. Does anyone know much about Hull 4 Heroes? I am planning on doing a personal challenge this year....errr, for personal reasons. But its one that could hopefully attract a fair bit of sponsorship (i work for a large organisation). But given i have a military background i thought why not raise something for a military charity...and bonus that it's local. Are they legit, does most of the money get to the right place etc. Appreciate they all have overheads. Hopefully you get what I mean.
