Hi ladies and gents,

I've finally signed up for something I've talked about for some time, and combining this personal aim with something as worthy as a children's charity makes this rather arduous expedition all worth while.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online - any amount, no matter how small will be gratefully appreciated. If you need to break into your piggy bank I'm even happy to accept your pennies.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
