I'm there! Last £10 from my lovely son and my target is hit. Thanks to everyone who has so generously supported me. Amazingly, I still have more pledges coming in, which is fantastic! Every £ counts, and everything above my target will go towards funding further projects.

Thanks so much Agnieszka - really appreciate it!

As you know, I find it very difficult to 'sit on my hands' when there's a job to be done, so I've been very fortunate in being selected for CWB's Botswana project in April 2012, where I will actually be able to get my hands dirty and do something really worthwhile!

Cricket Without Boundaries does a fantastic job in both developing the game of cricket in East Africa, but also delivering an AIDS prevention message to a young audience in a fun and effective way.

With an infection rate of 25% in Botswana and a population of just over 2 million, it doesn't take much to understand how devasting this could be to an entire country's population.

By donating my time and fundraising to this amazing charity and the fabulous country and people of Botswana, maybe I can make a tiny difference.  If you could spare just a little cash, then maybe you can too.  Lots of tiny efforts add up to one big change...

I've paid for my flights and living expenses, so the money I raise will fund my place on the project whilst I'm out there. I've had my training now, and whilst my cricket skills leave much to be desired, I hope to be able to at least deliver some fun!

Thank you in advance if you feel you're able to help.  Even if you can't contribute financially, I'd be really grateful if you could spread the word as far and wide as possible.

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.

Thank you so much!

Gratefully, Sam

Thanks to Darren of Twenty 20 Cricket, and Nick Payne of Swordfighting International for their donations
