Hi

I know it's probably not the best time to ask for sponsorship in this post-credit crunch world but if you do have a few pennies to spare I'm tackling the 26 miles in Edinburgh for a good cause.

Independent Age is a charity that helps older people stay in their own homes by giving them a small, regular amount of money to help with bills etc. They help people who have helped others during their lives e.g. people who've been volunteers and carers and so might not have been able to work to build up savings of their own.

I'm a volunteer for IA and the people I visit are amazingly grateful for the support they receive.

And if you can sponsor me I promise I'll find something new to talk about after 31st May after boring you all with marathon talk for months!!

Thank you.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: IndependentAge gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
