Byte Night is an important charity that Computer Weekly has been supporting over many years. It helps keep children off the streets of our cities, and is one cause that has galvanised the IT community as a whole.

I have slept out with many others in the IT industry each year as a token of the hardships many homeless children have to suffer, and done my best to promote the event. Byte Nighyt aims to raise over £300,000 this year and I shall be most grateful for any support that you may be able to give.

So 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: NCH, the children's charity 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.

Many thanks for your support.
