Story

<p>I shall be cycling the Reivers Way with 2 friends over the Easter break. None of us have had chance to cycle much recently but why not? A great route, prospect of good weather and some much needed exercise. Of course, Diane then had the bright idea of raising funds for Fortalice&nbsp;at the same time - never one to miss an opportunity to help a good cause so close to her heart (she chairs the Management Committee now in her spare time).</p> <p>Fortalice is really going to be hit by the cutbacks so every penny from you will count. The Refuge is always full, so at any time 22 women and their children are being helped. That costs a lot to keep going and the support it provides is immeasurable.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</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>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
