The Omnicom Haiti Fundraiser

Disclosure: I am an employee of Porter Novelli and this post is a plug for an event organised by Porter Novelli in partnership with another of the Omnicom Group's PR agencies.

Do you want to see me embarrassing myself, hauling my beer belly around a football pitch while ex-pros and celebrities shout at me for being useless? This week, you'll have that chance.

On Thursday, I'll be playing in the Omnicom Haiti Fundraiser, a benefit match for the Haiti aid effort. Back in January, a powerful earthquake struck outside Port-au-Prince and the death toll quickly reached a tragic level. In situations like that, every little helps.

With that in mind, the Porter Novelli team wanted to add a little cash to the aid effort, and came up with the idea of a charity football match against Fleishman Hillard. Our charity is the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

I'll be playing alongside one or two celebrities as well as ex-pros like Micky Hazzard, Graham Roberts and Kerry Dixon (and maybe one or two more).

If you're in London this week, come down to join us. The price of your ticket plus any purchases or donations on the night will be doubled by Omnicom, meaning 200% of every penny you donate will be going to the charity.
