Please use this section to contact me. It will help to spur me onto reaching my goal of reaching that £50,000 target. It will also help me in knowing that there are people watching my progress and willing me on to succeed. Whenever I reach somewhere that has internet connection I will try to read all the messages and reply to as many as I can. Please forgive me if I don't as I may be too shattered to even turn on a computer let alone find an internet cafe.

First chance I've had to get on to the computer since our return, and just wanted to say WELL DONE. You are a star. I did sing happy birthday to you in Paris, in the snow. Did you hear me? Sweet dulcit tones. Can't wait to see you on your return and hear all about it. Lots of love from your very proud little sister. xxxx

Dear John,
Just got a card from your bro, Philip, telling me you were doing this mad thing! Well done! Don't remember you being so mad in Oxford days, except maybe with cars screeching to a halt outside the YW!
Lots of love
