Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

I'm going to try and walk to every football ground in the UK next summer, starting in Scotland and working my way down the entire UK. I'll then try and contact the clubs to see if I can get an autographed shirt, a picture on the pitch and use these items to raise more funds too.

I'm also raising funds for Dogsos, an animal rescue centre that relies purely on donations to assist dogs that have been abandoned and face the fear of being put down. Every penny I raise will be split 50/50 between both charities. £25 will allow a dog to be removed from pens and assist in trying to get them re-homed. Even £5 can help save a dogs life. Once I get a page set up for Dogsos, you can decide which cause you would like to donate to.

The work of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation is well reported but since Sir Bobby's death, I have been searching for a way to repay his memory and all the great times he gave me as a manager. It deeply affected me in a way I didn't understand and I think I need to do this for myself as much as anything.

This is quite a daunting trek and I've perhaps bitten off more than I can chew, but I'm determined to try and raise £10,000 between both charities. Please help me raise money for two worthwhile causes. Perhaps you want to join me and help me raise the amount together? I could probably do with the company!

I'll be updating the page as I go and I'll be setting a seperate page up for Dogsos once they join justgiving.com.

Don't forget Gift Aid!!

So please dig deep and donate now.
