Steve Bristol Half Donate I went for a jog! Apparently, this enables me to break the usual rules around begging family, friends and coworkers for money. I was disappointed to discover that the money isn't for me, to replenish all the calories I burned with delicious chinese food, but rather is meant to go to a good cause. So, I'd like to ask you all to please donate to Young Somerset.I truly believe that investment in young people in the most efficient way to create better outcomes across society.
