My story

 
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

NaNoWriMo is short for the National Novel Writing Month, and happens in November.  The goal of the thing is to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days, and this year, I'm gonna nail it. I have my story all planned (which is to say, I've planned to NOT plan anything, to just go where the characters tell me to go), but I'd like something to spur me on towards a good cause.

I work for a very worthwhile charity called Columba 1400 which works with young people in Scotland who find themselves in tough situations, helping them realise their potential.  It's an inspiring idea, and it's a theme which I would love to explore a bit during November, through NaNoWrimo.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Columba 1400 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, help me get to 50,000 words, and help Columba 1400 continue its very worthwhile work!
