My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Now that's the offical blurb over with, just so you know that this is not a con or a phishing site!

In February 2010 I am going to go for a wee walk across the Sahara Desert and erect an old fashioned red telephone box on top of the largest sand dune (mobiles just don't have a good reception out there!!)

But your asking yourself why you should support this? Well apart from the good work the charity does, which more of later, you will be making me get fit and train a fair bit for this. It is 100KM over the Desert! And you know that you want to see me suffer as I train!! So go on donate some money!

Now if that is not enough to tempt you away from your money then how about the charity. This is a Scottish charity that is set up to help people with epilepy. Be that just living on a day to day basis with the condition or helping them see their consultant. Though if you visit their website they can tell you better than I can! So give them a visit.

As it says above donate now!! You can use credit/debit cards or even your Paypal account!!
