Hi to my friends, family and colleagues. Many thanks for following the link to my JustGiving page.

I'm taking the liberty and poetic licence to include running miles in my endeavours to achieve my personal walking (running) target of 100 miles between 18th November until Christmas day to raise money for Save the Children. I am joining a team of NI Save the Children fund raising volunteers and we plan to cover a combined total of 1000 miles before then. Please help me to reach my target by donating. Any donation, however small would be very welcome.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Have a happy, safe and socially distancing Christmas and New Year.
