Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: HCPT - The Pilgrimage Trust 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.

Me? I am a fat, balding and very unfit man with Diabetes who has just promised HCPT that I will walk 50 Kilometres around the mountains of Lourdes over two days! In winter!  Barmy! I think so but let's crack on with the training.

I need to raise £575 - the cost of sending one child to Lourdes - as a minimum. To send THREE children to Lourdes  I need £1600. £3,200 would mean SIX children could make the trip and that would be amazing! But really, I want to raise £5750 which would send TEN children to Lourdes in 2009. If you can help me raise  £5,750 then that would be truly awesome.

I promise to give you all regular updates about my preparations and my weight loss.

I have one year to train and get fit; you have one year to give me your money! Do we have a deal?

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
