Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.   I have made an arrangement with ActionAid for all donations to go their 'Syrian Crisis Appeal' - I'm sure you have all seen TV coverage of the desperate circumstances many Syrians are living through.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Actionaid tell me that any sponsorship money received before 3rd May will be matched, pound for pound by UK government - so forget any 65th Birthday (May 10th) present for me - make a donation before  the 3rd instead!
