Hello. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year (2016) I ran a two day writing challenge called "IronWriter" to raise money for http://www.autumnstar.co.uk. I spent two days writing random short stories (OK, some very short) and asking people to put money in a jar to take them away with them. Think of it like "story busking" ... or something. 

I raised a little over £150 pounds, I posted all the stories I wrote up to a website, and then thought... what next?

Well, this Just Giving campaign is what's next. If you're reading this then you probably clicked through from my website and you may already know what "Iron Writer" is. If not, no problem... here's the skinny

You donate money and I write a story. You get to pick things in that story, like an object or a person or a setting. I don't do real people (unless you want yourself in a story) and I like to keep it clean. When your story is written it will go up on the website and I'll tweet you a hearty "Thank you" (if you're on Twitter). You can make it as tough as you like. The tough the better. Just don't forget to donate.

No donation = no story!

If you haven't already made your request, do it here:

I'm not going to write paragraphs and paragraphs about why Cancer Research is an important charity. The sad fact is that there are very few, if any, of us who have not had their lives touched, changed, knocked off course, even devastated by cancer. You may be battling cancer now, be a survivor, or have a friend or loved one who is. Please, whoever you are and why-ever you are here... find a spare £1 for the jar.

Thank you,

Chris
