Hello everybody and a very happy new year to you all. Sometime ago, not long after me and Dee had got together, she suggested that we should raise money for Help The Aged by raising cash for a trek to Machu Pichuu, the lost city of the Incas 4,000ft above sea level. I think she thought I'd dismiss it as craziness, but that's not me! A few months on, fundraising is well under way, but more is still needed or else my vintage vinyl is set for the cold, unloved hands of Mr Ebay! Its really easy to donate through this site and we'll both love you forever. Here follows some generic nonsense, so follow its easy steps to donate ...

FAQ: Some answers to asked questions

Contrary to some opinion, we are not taking the Aged to Peru with us.

Money raised will not go towards a Stannah stairlift from Machu base camp to the summit, although I would be happy to put this forward as an idea. Money will actually go towards a variety of amazing causes in the UK.

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Help the Aged 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
