As you've probably already realised from the name of his blog, Reece takes his shirt off at Wolves matches and blogs about it, something which I'm not going to complain about, I doubt other females will!
Not only does Reece have a great blog...of course he does, he takes his shirt off...but in all seriousness he also uses it to raise money for a very worthwhile cause.
So I thought that Reece deserved a little space on my blog and here's what he had to say about both his blog and fundraising for Jack's Fund...
You run Shirt Off 4 Wolves blog, is that basically what it says on the tin?
Yes it is, the usual looks I get when I tell people are probably happening just as people are reading this too.
And how did you come up with the idea for your blog?
Well the blog wasn't my idea, it was a friend's idea who said I should do one. He said I can put my own views across and tell more people what I'm doing and people can keep up to date on what I'm up to as well.
Do you get a good response from away fans for your blog?
I get a lot of positive response from everyone in all fairness. Everyone is very supportive of my blog and what I'm doing, which is really pleasing.
Who's been the best to have a picture with so far?
They're all fun to do, but I do like the picture that one of the Wolves photographers took. But my favourite picture is of me and Jack Marshall; he's a true inspiration.
I know you do fundraising for Jack Marshall, tell us a little bit about him?
Well Jack is 5 years old and is battling like a soldier as he is suffering from a brain tumor. He and his family are such an inspiration.
And how did you begin fundraising for Jack's Fund?
Twitter! I wanted to do something with SO4W (Shirt Off 4 Wolves) and asked my followers on Twitter if they would recommend someone/thing I could raise money and/or awareness for. I had seen Jack's name pop up on Twitter so I had a look at Jack's website and read his story and it really touched me, so I approached Jack's Mum Tracy and it started from there.
What type of fundraising initiatives have you done so far for him?
There are a few other Wolves lads who are doing a few things as well, one of the lads won £250 at a game at half time at Molinuex, which he donated to Jack's Fund and also a match-worn Andy Keogh shirt which was signed by the whole team to be auctioned off to raise more money for Jack's Fund. I got to take up to Scunthorpe where they live and meet all the family which was just amazing to meet them. All the work the whole family do is unreal and I was just inspired by the whole family for what they're doing; not only for Jack but their efforts to raise awareness.
And any more planned for the near future?
I'm hoping to do many things in aid of Jack's Fund from sponsored walks, charity football matches and I have a big idea but I'm not saying to much about that yet.
