Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

PLEASE SUPPORT MY POTATOTHON!

OK well with my back problems I can't run, ride bikes, climb mountains or swim for miles but I would really like to raise a lot of money for people in Japan - I have been deeply moved by the dignity and resilience shown by them over the last week and would love to support the great job the Red Cross is doing there and in other places across the globe.    

A throwaway comment about how I could live off the trusty spud quite happily last week led to a friend offering to make a nice fat donation to the Red Cross if I did just that for a week......so, in for a penny (well ok it was more than that) in for a pound! Please get yer wallets out and support my spud eating antics.

The rules are I can eat only potatos from 00:00 on Sat 23rd April til 23:59 on Fri 29th. I can only use salt and pepper to season and I can only drink water or spirits distilled from potatoes! (god help me!). I have also promised I will post pics of my hearty meals on FB. Hopefully I will avoid scurvy and in the meantime raise a bit of wedge. Thanks for your support!
