Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking up this challenge as a dedication to a fellow colleague Steve Mogg but also to highlight what an important part hopices play when a loved one becomes ill, providing support and advice to families and care to the loved one.

I was at the Scotland/Engand 6 nations game on Saturday and would like to say how kind complete strangers are when they offer to donate money to a worthy cause and I realise how many people have had their lives touched by this illness.

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.
