OK so only a week to go.  I would really appreciate the sponsorship.  My target has been reached but I would love to get closer to £4,000 so please dig deep.  Those that know me well will realise just what a challenge this has been for me.

All the money raised here will really spur me on through the pain barrier on the 23rd and see me over the finishing line.

Thanks very much everyone.

PS. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ChildLine 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.
