On Wednesday 14th July 2010 on my 70th Birthday, I have decided to do something a little different - I will be rowing a marathon on a rowing machine at Armley Sport's Centre!

I am undertaking this feat to raise funds for Andrea's Gift, Yorkshire's leading brain tumour charity.  Those of you who know me and my husband Colin will be aware that Colin was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year, so this charity is now a very important one to us.

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.

Many thanks for your support,

Hetta and Colin
