On 13th July this year I opened a Just Giving Account to receive donations to Cancer Research UK in support of my walk from Granada to Santiago de Compostela.
To date I have received GBP1,610 in donations with pledges of another GBP350 or so, putting me well in reach of my revised target of GBP2,000.
I must say I have been overwhelmed and surprised by the response and generosity to this appeal which has come from all sorts of people: family, new and old friends, past colleagues, fellow students from school and university and from some whom I have only met in cyberspace. And from various nationalities too: Thai, Welsh, Indian, Peruvian, American, English, Israeli, Lebanese, Scots, Filipino, French, Latvian and Czech.
Although I have thanked you all personally for your individual donations I wanted to say here a big THANKYOU to you collectively. I know many of you make regular payments to other charities so I see your contributions to this appeal as personal support to me in undertaking the walk to Santiago.
Once again, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Perry
