Mark Taylor was, by his own admission, a 'serial volunteer' who had managed to find ways of occupying his free time in some of the strangest places and doing some very strange but rewarding things.
When a planned touring holiday was cancelled at short notice he needed something to fill the gap.
A weekend of volunteering in Bolton in the North West of England put an idea into his head that would change his life.
This book is vaguely based on the true story of someone who wanted to run along a piece of red carpet on a Sunday evening.
