Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I trekked to Everest Base Camp trek and ran/ hobbled the NY Marathon over the last month. Yes it was self indulgent but I financing it all myself and I will be putting in a substantial top up to the monies raised. Anne in particular, and I occasionally, have helped the NSPCC for years. You all know what a great cause it is but just one key fact - one third of the 2.3 million calls to Childline go unanswered each year due to lack of funds. It costs £100 to answer 25 calls and it costs £1600 to train a volunteer counsellor to answer calls, so we can make a big difference. Monies raised will go the Child's Voice Appeal which directly addresses this issue.

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.
