WOW! What a day! Huge thank you to everyone who donated! And I only just started plugging texts!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The reason I'm doing this is mostly for the amazing opportunity I have to raise money for the outstanding work being done at Vale House, but partially also because it's incredible fun. I do a lot of performing with Out of the Blue already, but nothing anywhere near challenging as this!

Also, if I meet my target before the competition on the 15th, I will dye my hair bright pink to match my partner's dress!

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.
