<p><span style="color: #800080;">T</span><span style="color: #800080;">hanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">So...there we were in the office over the easter period when I spotted an article in the Fostering Network Newsletter about a sponsored trek.&nbsp; I looked up at Jacqui Dixon [some of you will know her !] and said 'do you fancy doing a trek in the Himalayas for Fostering Network' [ it was more than&nbsp; a bit tongue in cheek !]and she replied 'no, but I'll sponser you to do it !' You know when something just muddles towards you...well, over the next few days this did ! I must say I am daunted by the training programme sent to me and will probably bore people ridged moaning about the long distance walks I am doing and my general lack of fitness for the undertaking, though I have almost a year to remedy this!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">And so here I am asking you for support for this&nbsp; worthwhile cause and given that I have worked in the fostering service for 23 years this is&nbsp; an area that I know a fair bit about.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">In brief,the Fostering Network is the UK's leading charity for everyone involved in fostering, they work to ensure that the 57,000 children who are fostered on any one day in the UK receive the best possible care.
