I can't believe how generous some people have been, today Clare, Catherine, David, Jonathan and Sue have raised the total to £600 for cancer connections, with gift aid £750. I appreciate things are tight so anything counts .. I didnt think loads of you would pay and want to see me suffer!

I know everyone is asking for sponsorship especially around the south shields area ... as you may know (as I've gone on and on about it) I'm doing the boxing day dip. I've raised £475 for cancer connections .. hoping two or three people may find the time to sponsor me tonight and take it over the £500 Target. If you sponsor me I will match it for St Claires Hospice
