<p>I'd be really greteful if you could help support my fundraising effort by contributing to the cause.</p>
<p>The Cash For Kids charity has already helped thousands of children across the North East of England who suffer abuse or neglect, are disabled and have special needs or who simply need extra care or guidance. To carry on the fantastic work...continued support must be given.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
<p>PLUS, as a thank you for your amazing generosity, for every donation over £10.00, I will send you my 4 track CD <strong>'What Do You Mean?'</strong> free of charge. Email me your postal address when you've donated to <a href="mailto:robkirtley.rsk@gmail.com">robkirtley.rsk@gmail.com</a></p>
