Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you know I take on a challenge for charity once a year, this year madly and, for some insane reason I have signed up to do the New Forest Half Ironman.  This consists of a 1.9K swim 90K bike ride and 21K run and yes all on the same day one after another.

This year I am raising money for two charities The Rosie Hospital Campaign http://www.therosiecampaign.org.uk/  and Skillforce http://www.skillforce.org/ and please see my Virgin Money giving page for the Skillforce charity www.virginmoneygiving.com/DamianSilver

These are both very worthy causes which I am proud to be supporting and any help you can give them is very much appreciated.

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.
