Following my victory at Karaoke Circus, I am taking part in a 10 hour Karaoke Marathon to raise money for The Food Chain who provide nutrition services including home delivered meals, essential groceries and nutrition advice to men, women and children who are chronically sick as a result of HIV related illness.

I hope you'll be able to donate to this excellent cause:

£5.50 covers the cost of one meal, including food, petrol, volunteer and administration costs

£36 is enough to provide a weeks worth of groceries to someone who is unable to shop for themselves.

As an extra incentive, anyone who sponsors me for £20 or more may nominate me a song that I'll sing, as long as it's on the Lucky Voice songlist. There's only one exception to this, and any Liverpool(spit) fans who would like me to sing Y**'ll N*v*er W*lk Al*n* will have to donate at least £50. If anyone does this, however, a fellow United fan or an Everton fan can bail me out by donating £100 and I won't sing it after all.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll help me to raise money for this great cause!
