Well it looks like I am committed now. Somehow for my sins as Chief Executive of the National Eczema Society I have allowed myself to be talked into setting a true and colourful example to all our supporters by embarking on a pyjama - clad tour of the country! From Plymouth to Norwich , Bangor to Bradford I will be striding out in my PJs as part of this years fundraising drive to mark National Eczema Week.

Public beware - no meeting is too high brow ( I will be attending a central London AGM and board meeting dressed like this ) and no event too small for my pyjama presence to be felt . My journey begins on 15 September to mark the start of National Eczema Week and ends wherever the PJs take me ! After a recent trial run in Bury St Edmunds - see picture opposite - as training goes I am as ready as I will ever be .

Looking forward to it - no. Determined to raise our profile and some money for eczema - yes! So please dig deep and make a woman facing total embarassment think its all worthwhile. A donation of any size would be much appreciated , not only by me but by everyone affected by eczema. Thank you and goodnight!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Eczema Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
