Yep, another year and more fundraising madness.

This year, in an attempt to whet your appetite and feel I am doing something truly challenging, I am WRITING a marathon.  Yes, 26,000 words all of my own making.  I don't promise they will be good, but I do promise they will be all my own and that they will make sense.  I have to be complete by March 2013.

This is twice the size of my masters dissertation to give you a bit of context.  And for those of you who remember that, you know this is hard for me.  And for those of you who know me really well, you also know a lifetime ambition.  Boy do I know this will be tough, so please dig deep and cheer me on!

It's for a great cause, a fabulous charity in Fife who I am personally involved in and can completely vouch for.  Safe Space work with survivors of sexual abuse and they make more of a difference than you can imagine.

Technically we don't launch till September, but I'm getting in early to make sure I finish this.  If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to have you onboard - www.safespacewrite-athon.co.uk

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
