The story is .....skiing this year for the first time since my accident made me realise just how lucky I have been. Other friends and close family may not have the same opportunities to do things they love because of illness or injury - so please, NO PRESENTS for my 40th but if you can find a few pounds or pence to help fund research, care and support for those less fortunate than us - I would be very grateful - thank 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 please dig deep and donate now.
