<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>This year I am 40 and have set myself a number of challenges. One of them is to ask 40 of my friends to make a donation to Parentline plus. Then I'm going to ask them to ask one other person to make a donation to Parentline plus too. If each person who donates asks one other person to donate, soon we'll have raised a fortune for a great charity that works for, and with, parents: <br /><br /><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>"We know that parents want to do the best they can for their children, but sometimes family life can be challenging and difficult. There is after all, no one right way to parent.</em></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>In the UK there are over 24 million people who parent – it’s not just mums and dads who do it. Families come in all shapes and sizes. Grandparents, stepparents, brothers, sisters, other relatives, friends and foster carers are all involved in raising happy, healthy children.</em></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>Parentline Plus works to offer help and support through an innovative range of free, flexible, responsive services - shaped by parents for parents"</em></span></p>

<p>If your parents did a great job you can use this donation as a way to say thank you to them. Leave a comment when you donate saying thanks and then let them know you've done it, maybe they'll donate too. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or maybe you've got a friend, who you think is a great parent. Let them know in your comment when you make your donation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're a parent. Use this donation to tell your kids how great you think they are. We all need to know how much our parents love us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Technology, facebook, twitter, blogging all make this easy to do. Encourage your friends to be part of something great</p>
<p>.</p>

<p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
