Thank you all so much for your generosity and kind words of support. I crawled across the finishing line after three hours of gratuitous grunting.

Knowing that all this money will go directly to the Family Guardian programme made it all worthwhile. Every penny from JustGiving will go on front line work - keeping families together and helping children in their communities, preventing young people being blighted by state institutions when they are at their most vulnerable.

This page will continue to take donations for some days yet, so do not hesitate to take the opportunity if you have not already.

Thank you for your support!
