Thank you – Giving up TV

From Matt Betts:

“Thank you to everyone who supported me in my challenge to give up TV. I did it and discovered new things about myself, whilst managing to read loads and loads of books (see photo below!). The sponsored no TV campaign managed to raise just over £500 for the Living by Giving Trust, so thank you to everyone who sponsored me. This will now go towards our Xavier Project.

I highly recommend giving up TV, because then you have to find other things to do – and you might just surprise yourself. 🙂
