DIY SOS - million pound build for children in need

[AliGage]

Good day ladies and gents.

The big build i was involved in in Peterborough a couple of months ago is being shown tonight on BBC 1.
It was an awesome project for some very special children. Everyone that worked on the build worked their socks off and the end result after just 10 days is in my biased opinion jaw dropping.
Be great if you could all tune in. Not to see me although i would say i was the mortar holding the whole build together 😉😉
But there will also be a number you can text into to donate whatever you can to children in need. If any of you can before to make a donation that'd be brilliant too.
Hope yet all enjoy the program!!

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Good on you Ali, and all the people who pitched in, My wife Julie and I are sat here with tears in our eyes, Julie's daughter, my step daughter Katie was born with a disability, although now 26 years old and has permanent need for a wheelchair, she has a very active social life, and has made her career fighting for the rights and futures of other people with a wide range of disabilities.

Julie and I are very proud of Katie's achievements, and her steely determination. Hopefully all the children and parents in a similar situation will benefit from this wonderful project.

Thanks to all involved, Julie says you are all real hero's.

Respect to you all.

Regards, Phil.
