Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
So, what am I doing, and why?
I'm planning to travel as far as possible by train in a 24-hour period.
I can now reveal that Del’s 24hr Charity Challenge will begin at Plymouth station at 23.51 on 15th September 2009 and finish at Rugby at 23.43 the following night. - You can follow my progress by Twitter: http://twitter.com/24hoursbytrain
Plymouth-Paddington-Euston-Manchester-Sheffield-St Pancras-King's Cross-Edinburgh-Preston-Birmingham-Rugby
Total miles - 1381.5
And, why not? I have never done any kind of charity challenge before, and as I come steaming up to the 40-year mark, I thought it'd be a good thing to do.
AND my employers, Network Rail, will match whatever I raise. The NSPCC is their featured charity for this year & next year. My just-started blog is here: http://24hoursbytrain.wordpress.com/
