On October 4, 2008 beginning at 11 a.m., I'll be joining many other writers at The Grail writers' forum, aiming to write as many short stories and poems as possible within the next 12 hours.

You can help by sponsoring me for the duration of the event.

2008 is National Reading Year. Therefore, Volunteer Reading Help has been named as our charity of choice. In previous years, this effort has raised money for Alzheimer's and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Volunteer Reading Help gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
