<p>Hello!&nbsp;Thanks to everyone who's donated so far. Incredibly brilliant and generous of you.</p> <p>There has been a change of plan, I'm not trekking for <strong>Breakthrough</strong> any more, I'm running! (Help! Anyone who's seen me run will know this is a challenge.)</p> <p>If you are kind enough to donate, you automatically enter the chance to win your name in the next <strong>Annie Valentine</strong> book.</p> <p>On October 29th I'm taking part in the <strong>Glasgow Big Fun Run </strong>to raise money for&nbsp;the wonderful people at <strong>Breakthrough</strong>. This is a fantastic charity all about breast cancer.</p> <p>Money donated to <strong>Breakthrough </strong>goes towards research, educational campaigns, plus thoughtful, caring ways to help sufferers. I love the moves to help make waiting rooms more cheerful and less terrifying.</p> <p>Almost every one of us knows someone whose life has been touched by this illness. So it's time to do something for a wonderful cause.</p> <p>You can donate here. Everyone who donates will be entered into a special draw. The <strong>winner's name</strong> (or name of a friend) will be used for a brand new <strong>character</strong> in the next <strong>Annie Valentine book</strong>.</p> <p>Lots of love, Carmen xx</p> <p>PS</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>
