My story

You can follow my progress at www.southdownsway.wordpress.com

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My good friend and colleague Rob Marchant has MS and has applied for a canine partner. This is a dog companion who is trained to assist a disabled person with certain tasks we able bodied people may take for granted. To train a dog costs money and our whole office have got behind Rob in raising the funds to help pay for a dogs training. I'm going to walk the length of the "South Downs Way" which is about 100 miles in total starting on the 27th August 2010. All expenses for the trip will be met by me so every penny you donate will go directly to the charity Canine Partners to help train a dog.

 

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.
