Fame at last

Photo 91

The Huddersfield Daily Examiner printed a story about our walk yesterday. They even published the photo (although they had to crop round my head as it was too big for the page).

It was interesting to see what they used out of the press release I wrote and what they didn’t. They missed out the list of people who are coming, which was a shame, but I suppose space was limited. We took up three quarters of a page as it was.

Still it’s all good publicity, both for the walk and the charity as a whole. I sent the press release off to a couple of other papers too so we’ll see if anything comes of those.

    Wow. And great publicity, as everyone else has said. Is this a good moment for a crack about the Big Giant Head? (or whatever the one in Third Rock From The Sun was called. We miss that show, damnit)
