Today has been yet another fantastic day on my journey to raise awareness of Lupus.
Myself and Viki left the Midlands at 5:30 am and headed for Liverpool’s Melwood Training Ground where we had been invited to meet Fernando Torres. The meeting was held at 8 am due to Fernando’s busy schedule, as he continues his rehabilitation from surgery.
Fernando was amazed by the painting. He was keen to find out about Lupus and my plans to run the London Marathon. He was also hopeful that his signed portrait would fetch more than Stevie G’s!
I’m also pleased to announce that the auction will feature on the official Liverpool FC Website, which is fantastic news. It is hoped that it will significantly help in raising awareness of Lupus to millions of LFC fans around the world!
Check out the Liverpool FC Auction page for details on the auction and more photos of Fernando signing the painting.
