Two charities, with whom Sylvia has a personal connection will benefit from this fundraising: "End Polio Now" and "Guide Dogs for the Blind".

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to the charities.

Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.

I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
