Prestigious London venue helps raise funds to fight muscle-wasting illness
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Redhook restaurant, in Farringdon, London, is hosting a special charity
event, ‘Auction Duchenne’ to raise awareness and funds for Action Duchenne
on Wednesday, 12th September.  Items to bid for include a boxing glove
signed by Dizzee Rascal, and a Star Trek comic book signed by Sir Patrick
Stewart.

The prestigious London venue, famous for seafood and mouth-watering steaks,
is opening its doors to help the only national UK charity dedicated solely
to raising awareness and funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This is the
first event of its kind organised by the charity in a year of activities
designed to make their voice heard.

Tickets for the evening include cocktails on arrival, gourmet canapés,
unique entertainment, automatic entry into a raffle for a fabulous weekend
for two in Wales, and the opportunity to bid in the auction for many
interesting and unusual items and experiences. Additionally, guests can
purchase a bespoke three-course meal, designed for the evening by head chef
Jeff Roxas-Green. 

The charity event is the brainchild of Lee Steggles, founder of Got Fitness
Exercise Specialists.  Lee is a passionate campaigner for Action Duchenne
and has helped put together training plans for the charity’s flagship Love
Run Events. 

Lee Steggles commented, “I was originally inspired by a friend of mine whose
7 year-old son Korben lives with Duchenne.  I encourage people to dig deep
into their pockets and join us in what promises to be a fun, very worthwhile
evening.  I am hoping Auction Duchenne will be so successful that it will
flourish and grow into a regular occurrence, one of those ‘not to be missed’
events on everyone’s calendar that will help improve the lives of boys
living with Duchenne and one day find a cure for this devastating,
life-limiting illness.” 

Owen Callaghan, Regional Development Officer at Action Duchenne concluded;
“We have a large number of dedicated and active supporters like Lee who work
tirelessly to help our cause.  Holding a high-value, high-profile auction
event is a brilliant idea and typical of the sheer creativity and energy
projected by truly inspiring people like Lee.  We are very grateful to all
our supporters and will continue to focus on our goal of finding a cure and
effective treatment for those living with Duchenne and their families.”

Tickets for Auction Duchenne are £50 for the evening, and £80 to include the
additional three course meal, are available from the Action Duchenne

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
