Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In Harry Potter, a Boggart is a creature that, when faced, turns into the thing that terrifies you the most.  I am Vice-President of Phoenix Rising, a chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, and we are running a Face your Boggart challenge. 

If I raise at least £200 for Marie Curie Cancer Care, I will face my deep-seated fear of spiders by holding a tarantula *shudder*, and the more I raise, the longer I will hold the spider for.  

I'd be grateful, if terrified, if you could spare a few pounds for this amazing charity, which does incredible work caring for those with cancer and other terminal illnesses. 

If you would like to take part in the challenge and face your own fear please visit the relevant page on our blog to find out how to 'Face Your Boggart'. We are asking for a small donation to our chapter funds so that we can continue to address issues of social justice in our area but beyond that any funds you raise will be directed at the charity of your choice.
