Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>This year whilst sitting in your warm home, cuddled up with your family eating christmas dinner, spare a thought for those less fortunate who dont have anywhere or anyone to turn to.&nbsp; Just a small amount can make so much difference to providing a warm bed and meal for a night.</p> <p>On 4th December, myself and Angela (and whoever else would like to join us) will be walking along the beautiful (and muddy) towpaths of the Thames from Reading to Henley and back again totalling nearly 20 miles.&nbsp; This will be some feat as I usually struggle with just getting out of bed and to work in the mornings and Angie doesnt know how to walk since she found 2 wheels.</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>
