<p>Dear friends,</p> <p>As a special birthday wish, I would like to ask you to NOT to buy me a birthday present. A weird request, I know, but I really have everything I need. Instead, please make a donation of your choice to the Manchester Dogs Home, via this site. Anyone who knows me knows how much this means to me, and seeing your donations come in will give me greater pleasure than any presents I receive for myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and a big WOOF-WOOF from all the doggies your money will help!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
