Story

<p>Hi! On Friday 4th March I am planning on turning my legs to jelly by walking 55 miles through the night around Manchester. As a team of 6 we are aiming to complete this monumental task in under 18 hours, though apparently the drop out rate is around 40-70% so it will be a gruelling challenge. Be sure that I will NOT be pulling out, even if it means dragging myself over the finish line on my hands and knees.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please donate generously, I have set a modest target of &pound;50 (meaning that as a team we are aiming for &pound;300) so even a couple of quid will go a long way. All donations will be going to Asha for Education, a charity who I have raised money for in the past and who I know do a fantastic job in providing basic education and healthcare to some of the poorest children in India.Thanks!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
