Story

<div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I originally asked you to help me raise &pound;2000 so that together we could make a difference to the lives of the street children in Uganda. As you will have seen from the total, i've hit that target but i'm not stopping there. I want us to raise as much money possible to help these kids so please keep digging deep, lets make a difference to the lives of these children.</p> <p>In November, with your help, I will be taking part in the Retrak - Uganda programme. Your giving will make a huge difference to the lives of children that really need our help. Every penny really does count.</p> <p>Even a small amount can help transform the life of a street child.<br /><br />&pound;3&nbsp;&nbsp; -&nbsp;a blanket for a child who has been sleeping on the street<br />&pound;5&nbsp;&nbsp; -&nbsp; access urgently-needed medical treatment<br />&pound;46&nbsp; -&nbsp;a child&rsquo;s school uniform and books &ndash; allowing them to complete their education.</p> <p>Please, please help me to help these children. Let's give them hope for the future, let's show them that we really do care.</p> <p>Thank you so much.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Forthcoming Events</strong></span></p> <p>9th March - 24th April - For the period of lent I am giving up alcohol, chocolate, crisps and biscuits!!!
