Personal message:

Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to look at my page!

Well I did the Hitch last year and I have never been through so many emotions in such a short time but what an experience! Pain, joy, tears (thankfully no blood, although after being stuck in a service station for 37 hours there was of course a bit of friendly banter amongst the group). Not only is it an amazing experience but the proceeds raised from this event go to a wonderful cause.

By sponsoring me whatever you can give will make an enormous difference and help so many people less fortunate in the poorest parts of Africa. Link is an extremely worthwhile cause dedicated on improving the quality of education and life for over half a million children in the most deprived parts of the country. Heres an idea of what your donation will go to:

£10 can buy a desk

£20 Can pay for Literacy training for two teachers

£50 Can pay for Aids/HIV training for five teachers

£500 Can pay for one school development grant

I want to thank everyone already for their positive response that drives me to work harder, it really is terrific!
