Hello dear friends,

Thanks for taking time to look at my JustGiving page. It's the first time I've ever done anything like this....

So, the whys and wherefores! As I'm sure you are all aware, I LOVE East London and I also enjoy walking (-at pace!) so when I saw posters for 'The Great East End Walk' my interest was captured. The fact that the purpose of the 'Walk' is to raise money for an extremely worthwhile cause makes the whole thing even better. So, on Sunday May 20th I will be walking 10 miles, yes, 10 whole miles! That's between 3-5 hours of walking........... I'd be really delighted if you would sponsor me for doing something so energetic - especially as it's (technically) my birthday weekend.....!!

Here's some official blurb to reassure you .......

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, any amount will do, I don't expect you to bust the bank and as the saying goes 'every penny counts' 

A cheeky little 'thank you' in advance for your generous donations! And an ice cream or cake bearer at the end of the walk would be much appreciated - thanks!
