Thought that might raise some interest. If you thought that this was your chance to become a sponsored poker player, well, I'm afraid you've been duped.
Actually, its something much more important than being sponsored to play poker, it's a charity Dragon Boat race that my colleagues and I are doing next Thursday at Little Venice in Paddington, London. So, for your opportunity to sponsor the crew of the Paddington Pirates, please follow the following link (apologies if it's not acceptable to link to this, just let me know and I'll remove it):

COSMIC was founded in 1994 to raise money for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, which now treats around 500 desperately sick children every year. COSMIC raises money through a number of events each year, and is heavily supported by families whose lives have been touched by the PICU. All funds are used to provide life saving equipment, to provide support and accommodation to parents and to fund training, education and an internationally significant research programme at Imperial College London looking at the causes, effects and treatment of childhood diseases.
We have a macot coming to cheer us on, and she looks like this...
