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 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">directly</span> to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed where eligible.</p> <p>I was very well supported last year so hopefully I can achieve even part of that this year.&nbsp;Many thanks in anticipation.</p> <p>Roll on the 24th October !! :-)</p> </p>
