Story

Last year, I promised to run 5K dressed as a snail if I reached £100. I have to admit, my snail outfit was a bit lacklustre. This year, I promise to dress as the most impressive tortoise in the world if I reach £200, AND I'll send everyone who sponsors me photos. If I fail to dress as an impressive tortoise I promise to give you your money back and make the donation to Fawcett out of my own pocket. How can you lose?

(I am lacking a photo of me dressed as a tortoise at the moment, so in the meantime here is a photo of one of the feral kittens we are fostering. She will be so sad if you close this page without donating anything.)

Not only will you get to see me dressed as a tortoise and stopping the kitten from being sad, you'll also be donating to the Fawcett Society, and if you don't want to do that I'm going to assume you're a woman-hater. A quick reminder of why Fawcett exists:

-On average women get 54 pence for every £1 of income received by men
-96% of executive directors of the UK's top 100 companies are men
-Just 20% of MPs are women
-Less than 6 out of every 100 reported rapes results in a conviction
-2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner
