<p>It happens to us all and now it has happened to me! A mammoth milestone which I have been very, very fortunate to have reached. Many of you have kindly asked what I would like as a gift. Well, the truth is, I really don't need anything. However, I would be very grateful if you would make a donation to a charity very close to my heart.</p> <p>Back in my publishing days, I worked with a bubbly, fun-loving lady called Andrea Key. Andrea introduced me to rock n roll and my last memory of her was dancing together at a conference party in Boston, USA. Sadly Andrea died not long after that, aged 42 from an aggressive brain tumour. Some of her colleagues set up a charity called Andrea's Gift in her memory. In 10 years they have raised almost &pound;1.5m to support other patients and to fund brain tumour research.</p> <p>Last year, the charity trustees changed the name to Brain Tumour Research &amp; Support across Yorkshire in a bid to reach more patients and raise further funds.</p> <p>If you would like to "buy" me something, nothing would make me happier than if you donated to this fantastic cause.</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>
