Story

Hello hello! Thanks for taking the time to look at my justgiving page, I shall attempt to make this short but sweet.

Basically, I'm doing a charity hitchike to Prague with my friend Henry over Easter. It's in aid of Link Community Development, an international charity which works to improve the quality of education in schools in Africa and promote access to education (you can find out more about LCD at www.lcdinternational.org). The Hitch is LCD's biggest fundraising event each year, and has raised over £2.5million since it started in 1992 (in Cambridge apparently!). I'm aiming to raise at least £350, but would of course love to raise any more that I can, and for that I need help from ALL of you! If you've ever seen me try to get anywhere, you'll know that me making it to Prague is quite a task indeed, and definitely worthy of your sponsorship. In fact, I'm not too clear on where exactly Prague is yet, so i'm sure i'll come back with many amusing tales. If you would like to see me going across Europe in cars/vans/lorries/boats/bicycles/whatever will take us, then please please please donate. There will be photographs, i promise.

Also, it may not have escaped your notice that my photo on this page is me with cake. If you donate money, I will give you cake (or at least some variety of baked goods).
