Andy starts things moving

Andrew McBride’s kind donation on just giving this morning has officially kicked off my fundraising effort. It also goes to show the power of social networking… I went to school with Andy a good 25 years ago and haven’t seen him since, but we are friends on Facebook and have the occasional online chat, and when i posted to say that I was going to run 100 miles in the himilaya’s he generously logged onto the justgiving page and made a donation. That donation, and most of the giftaid (a tiny proportion of the giftaid is taken in commision by justgiving to cover the transaction costs) will be paid directy to the charity, and will be used to fund their groundbreaking research focussed on the detection, prediction, treatment and care of gynaecological cancers.
