Only a few days to go now before i´m back...A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US SO FAR!!!! (and if you haven't already...what are you waiting for???)
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prince's Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.
