23 year old Paul Maddox was born and brought up in Chesterfield and attended St. Mary�s School before dance music took over his life!! He is now Rotherham based and has developed into a multi-talented and internationally well known name in the industry and has kindly offered his time to support Samaritans by giving you the chance to win a day with him!!!!
Paul says �I have a close friend who is a Samaritan in Chesterfield and know what a valuable service they provide to anyone in emotional distress, including those close to killing themselves. Apparently young men in my own age group are at highest risk of suicide � that surprised me! Because of this I am delighted to offer this prize as a way of raising awareness amongst clubbers and all young people of the service Samaritans provide and at the same time raise a bit of cash to help them carry on.� Paul continues �Please have a go by entering this draw and take a few minutes to have a look around the Chesterfield Samaritans website to find out more about their work.�
