Hi friends.....

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

Yes.....I DID IT!!!!!!

I took part in a FIREWALK in Hillsborough on 31st October! The funds raised will go towards an Open Habitat for Humanity team which Laura (Hunter) and I are leading to Malawi in 2009. (Many of you will know that I have previously participated in Habitat teams to El Salvador and Uganda, and have led teams to Botswana and Romania.) I will cover my own costs and the funds raised will primarily be used for building materials and to provide interest free mortgages to the homeowners.

So what is a FIREWALK?

Yes..... it is walking across red hot coals in bare feet! And as it was Halloween, we did it in fancy dress...myself, Elizabeth (Smith), and Laura were the three witches complete with face paint. Surely that  warrants a few £££? However, maybe the face paint wasn't required??? Or even the fancy dress!

Also, as my contribution to the National Payments Plan (sorry, once a banker, always a banker!), I have moved into the 21st century, and in additional to accepting payments electronically to my sponsorship account or by cash and cheque, now favour donations through this Justgiving site.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland 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.

Very many thanks in anticipation for your support. I'm nearly at my target...so please help me reach it....
