Hi there If you are reading this it is either because you are a very generous person who is considering sponsoring me or because I have got something on you and have blackmailed you into giving me large sums of money! Either way, I am very grateful. The Cats Protection League is a charity that I really believe in and any amount of money you give will be very gratefully received by them and will make a massive difference to the welfare of cats in this country. Some of you will know I did the marathon last year and it was an amazing experience, I want you to know, though, that I am not going to be nobbling you for cash every year. This is the last time! So thanks again, my cat Mr Bear as team manager would also like to extend his thanks for helping his feline friends - Julian x PS - Here is the important bit: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cats Protection 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.

So please sponsor me now!
