How many genuinely nice guys are there out there? On the surface quite a few, but once you get to know them you realise that most of them are merely in disguise. Paul however is one of the genuine nice guys all the way through.

I'm not saying that he is perfect; he shouts at cyclists (though admittedly only he and whoever is travelling with him will ever hear the quite mild grumblings of a slightlyu road raged Paul). He is however on the most part one of the most honest people I know. Thats why this blog means so much , there is no ulterior motive. he wanted to do something positive- so he is. Yes he will benefit from having this project, he may be able to learn more about CHD and share experiences, hopefully even make some friends along the way. He however will not be the only beneficiary.

Obviously GUCH will benefit in a material way, but I feel that all of those of you readers, especially the ones who leave comments will benefit greatly. I would also like at this points to make an extended invitation to everyone passing this pagethat you do not have to have a CHD or a close relative with CHD. Anyone can participate, be it experiences of other medical problems or an interest in one of the items for trade.

I will leave it at that for now, but I will speak to you again in two weeks.
