    Episode 60 : Greenfingers Charity Special

    We thought we would do a Greenfingers charity special with Jamie and Marc both being ambassadors of the charity we wanted to share a few exciting fundraising updates First we had Marc’s son George on to talk about his fantastic fundraiser where he will be doing a 8 mile walk from a local park all the way in to Lincoln and up Steep hill ending up at the Castle, he came up with this all on his own. George has Cerebral Palsy which affects his entire right side of his body meaning he has minimal use of his right arm and his right leg is weaker than the left, so 8 miles is going to be a real challenge for him. The just giving link is in Marc’s instagram profile if you wish to donate. https://www.justgiving.com/page/marc-ridpath-1728928103376?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fmarc-ridpath-1728928103376&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share Next up we spoke to @groovygardeninguk about his amazing plant sale from plant in his garden as he is moving to Guernsey, he has raised over £1400 for Greenfingers.
