Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are asking family and friends to make our big day even more special by donating to one of our chosen charities rather than buying us presents. Both charities are very close to our hearts and any donation would be very much appreciated.

Mark has chosen Leicester Animal Aid which is a shelter for homeless cats and dogs based in Huncote, Leicestershire. Our little cat, Marley, was rescued by them in May 2011. After raising money for the shelter for his 40th birthday in January, Mark wants them to continue to be supported.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
