Hi!

I'm Joinee Darren, from Billericay in Essex in the UK.

I joined in April 2005, after receiving a "Best Wishes" card from a total stranger whilst collecting money for St. John Ambulance outside the TESCO supermarket in Great Dunmow! It simply had RAOK on the front, and the web address inside, and well, here I am!

I work in Human Resources for a large electronics firm in Basildon, and my main free-time activity is St. John Ambulance. I am fully trained in First Aid and Ambulance work, and am currently Assistant County Commissioner for Essex.

Through 2005/06 my dad was not well, and so many Joinees were totally amazing sending him cards and presents! He was absolutely delighted by it all and it has helped him and my mum through some pretty rough times. More details are to be found in our Forum at this thread. Dad passed away peacefully in the early hours of 24th August 2006.

At K4 (December 2006) I earned the new title of Ducktastic Joinee Darren in recognition of the discovery and distribution of flashing disco ducks!

K5 saw me helping with the charity raffle for the first time. Together with Platinum Joinee Mum White we raised about £280. At K6 the team was reunited, this time raising just short of £400! I was also delighted to be Silvered by The Leader.
