Alex Brooker and Claire Stockton
Charity founder Claire Stockton is keeping her fingers crossed.
She said: "I am very, very nervous for Alex but the fact he has even thought of us is amazing. Of course we would love him to do really well but I don't want to get carried away and get my hopes up. If he doesn't I know he will have tried his best. He has got a heart of gold and he really knows what the charity is about."

“He is from Leeds and spoke at the charities calendar launch last year and was really touched by the charities aims for families with disabled children across east Yorkshire and north east lincs, he was very humbled to be asked to be a patron and accepted and has been there patron for over a year now :-)”

“What a lovely thing to do, best of luck Alex.
Does anyone know if he is a local lad and if Echoe's is close to his heart for a reason?
Best info I have found on tinterwebs is that he graduated from Liverpool Uni and may be from Kent?”
