Good luck to the LEWIS Byte Night team



Last year I slept rough in a park in London for Byte Night, in aid of Action for Children. In the run up to the event I felt guilty asking people to give me money to go and get drunk with my mates.

By 5am, as I tried to rub some feeling back into my frozen body despite thermals, two pairs of trousers, two jumpers, a ski jacket, gloves, a scarf, two hats, a sleeping bag and a plastic sheet, I wished I'd asked for more cash. It was *hell*.

It's Byte Night tonight and this year I won't be sleeping out, but have already taken part in a bake sale, PJ day + bacon sarnies, along with sponsoring our team.

If you haven't sponsored them yet, do it.

Good luck to Gemma, Louise, Deepali, Jade, Liz and Paul. Wrap up warm!

That's really brave of your guys. Just to think that I had to turn on the heating at night yesterday because it was too cold inside the house.
