My story

 

Having lost a wager with one of Edge Hill University's academic departments, I was obligated to spend a day at work dressed as a character from the Wizard of Oz. 'If I only had a brain' I would never have got into this situation, but I was committed - and decided to raise money for a great charity as well.

In an exciting online poll, the voting gave Dorothy Gale from Kansas a massive victory, so inevitably the gingham frock was mine... and I spent Friday 25th September 2010 walking round the campus in Dorothy getup.  There are pictures, a video and a blog explaining the Oz connection

So it would be great if you'd bung the North West Cancer Research people some cash.

Big thanks to Aladdins Cave Ormskirk for costume hire, Mike Nolan for polls and video, and numerous friends and colleagues for support and donations. 

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.
