It’s Monday of @ChilternKills week and that means it’s time for a massive charity fundraising push. This year - for the first time ever - we are able to offer you immortality!! Thanks to the incredible generosity of #ChilternKills patron and living legend Frederick Forsyth, we are giving you the chance to win a character in Frederick’s next book! For just £5 a ticket - every penny of which goes to @centrepointuk to help fight youth homelessness in Britain - you will enter the draw to have a significant character in the next Frederick Forsyth named after you or a loved one or even a nemesis!! You choose the name. You choose the description. You choose whether it’s a good guy or a bad guy (or girl, of course) and Frederick Forsyth will do the rest! It’s a chance at literary immortality for you or for a loved one (or….). And let’s be straight, it’s probably not page alone: when does ANY Frederick Forsyth novel NOT make it to the big screen? This incredible opportunity for just £5 a ticket? And all safe in the knowledge that the full £5 has gone to help homeless kids!??
