Go to the Dog, visit the SUBar, or have a gander in Evisu!

You and a mate could win a set tour of Hollyoaks!

John Pickard, who plays unlucky-in-love Dom in the soap, put his characters woes to one side to complete a number of running challenges in 2009 including the Flora London Marathon, the BUPA Great North Run and the ING New York Marathon to raise funds and awareness of the two charities. 

 
Now those wishing to show their support for John by sponsoring him a minimum of £10 will be entered in to a special competition to visit the set of Hollyoaks and meet some of the cast.
 
Whether fans are keen to share a cappuccino with Dom and Tony in Il Nosh or fancy hitting the SU bar with Hannah and Nancy, their dreams could become a reality.
 
Whilst his character, Dom Reilly is most often seen creating culinary delights in the Village’s restaurant Il Gnosh, throughout 2009 John has been pounding the streets at all hours training for his running challenges. 

However, like his character, John is thinking of others and raising funds for two very worthwhile causes.  
John said: “It’s a real honour to be supporting two such important charities. My grandad had prostate cancer – and was cared for by my mum at home when he became disabled towards the end of his days, so both charities have a great personal significance to me. I’ve also been to visit a number of Leonard Cheshire Disability services so I know what a great job they do supporting disabled people to live life their way. I’ve been training hard this year and completing my first ever marathon in London back in April was fantastic.  It’s great to be able to complete these challenges to raise money and funds for such important causes, so please take part in the competition to get your chance of visiting the Hollyoaks set and meeting the cast!”
 
To sponsor John and have your chance of visiting him and the rest of the cast on set, visit  http://www.justgiving.com/John-Pickard1/ and follow the instructions. Competition closes December 20th. Terms and conditions apply.
