My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On Friday 27th March I'm sleeping rough in central Edinburgh in order to raise money for the Bethany Trust for the homeless (again). This year my 12 year old son Zac is joining me (www.justgiving.com/zachesketh).

I hope to raise £2,500 but more importantly hope that one person will read this and take the challenge to do something similarly unexpected so that we'll raise even more for good causes. In these very difficult times it's important to remember that none of the homeless set out to be homeless. Many worked and had relationships and something went wrong. It can happen to any of us.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online to help someone else.

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

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
