First fundraising target smashed

As a former professional football player for Walsall F.C., and now living and working in Banbury, Oxfordshire, Michael ‘Flexercise’ Dobson, or Dobbo as he was known, is no stranger to goals. Having launched his 2012 London Marathon appeal in early October 2011, he had to move the goal posts just two weeks later when his fundraising target was close to being reached.
