<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I've just managed to row across the Irish Sea as part of the 2012 Celtic Challenge with a group of crazy but remarkable middle-aged men. It took us almost 26 gruelling hours, and half of the 22 teams that set off didn't make it due to atrocious weather conditions. I've put our collective effort to good use and raised some money for a very worthwhile cause - Hope House children's hospices. And you can still contribute if you'd like to!</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>Thank you for your generosity. It's really appreciated.</p>
