Sponsor me as I turn 60 (which I plan to do on 12th July!) with a kind donation to my dearest cause. I''m hoping to raise £600 from my lovely friends and colleagues to enable people in rural Ghana to live better lives.

It's a tenner for every year I've been alive - and I will match fund your donations!

Through my work with Action Through Enterprise, and my two visits to Lawra in Upper West Ghana, I know how much difference this money will make.

£30 buys a child school lunch for a term

£60 gives a girl sanitary pads for a year

£120 covers mentoring a new business

£240 runs a village disability group for a month

£300 buys vital learning equipment for a whole school

£600 kick starts a new business

A massive thank you in advance - and hope you like the photos!
