We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who contributed to this final amount on the day. We also give thanks to our incredible sponsors, performers, volunteers and our host venue The Royal Vauxhall Tavern .
Yesterday I went as Icarus for the @LondonLeathermen leather care benefit for the greek mythology themed best dressed competition.
And like the myth the wings were falling apart by the end of the day
