On Friday 11th March, I showed the long version of the award winning Short film 'Being Martin' to raise funds for the Boma Appeal. The evening raised £70.

At the end of the evening, Chris Swiff, Founder and Managing Director of Molten Rock who make the Boma announced that I am a proud owner of a Boma for the amount I've raised so far
