Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page where I'm raising money for the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust for a new children's hospice just outside Huddersfield.

If you've got this far, you'll know that I hate the thought of playing an instrument in public - that I find the thought somewhat unnerving! However, in the spirit of "there's always a first time for everything", I'm taking part in a pianothon on Saturday 14th May. If this doesn't help me overcome the nerves, nothing will.

If you can see your way to sponsoring me for a few quid me I'd really appreciate it. I'll let you know how get on next week.

A bit about the JustGiving process: 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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Wish me luck...

Alan
