Story

<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">For the past 3 years&nbsp;I have been raising money as part of&nbsp;a&nbsp;'<a></a>f<a></a>orget me&nbsp;not'&nbsp;annual event&nbsp;for Derian House Childrens Hospice in memory of some dear friends daughter Alice Hannah Foster, who sadly died there in 2007 aged just 12 years old as a way of thanks for all the help &amp; support they recieved there.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">In the last couple of years I have gone through a very painful chest wax &amp; last year, together with Alices sister Katie,took part in &nbsp;a sky dive, which&nbsp;I have&nbsp;yet to over come! This years challange was set by the lads @ Clarke &amp; Pullman from Burscough, to stick to something&nbsp;I'm more comfortable with....TRACTORS!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">&nbsp;On 14th April I will be&nbsp;driving&nbsp;a brand new Fendt 700 Vario Tractor worth &pound;175,000 straight out of the factory&nbsp;in Marktoberdorg Germany<strong> A JOURNEY OF 1437KM WHICH MUST BE COMPLETED ON A SINGLE TANK OF DIESEL.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">I will hopefully arrive at my charity the wonderful Derian House Children's Hospice on the 15th April at around 2.00pm. My target is &pound;7,000 which will be used for the Derian House Wish List to buy much needed items like the previous donations have made possible to buy like the special beds, one&nbsp;that enabled&nbsp;the children&nbsp;to get outside another was a safe protective 'zip' bed, several TV's have been purchased as well as the&nbsp;mobile sensory unit that was bought with last years sky dive&nbsp;donations (see gallery)&nbsp;these items&nbsp;make such a difference to the lives of the children @ Derian for however long they need it.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">A donation of any amount is most welcome or I am hoping that for a &pound;100 donation your buisness logo / name will be attatched / stuck to the tractor before it leaves Germany. This tractor will then be on show at the RIVERSIDE STEAM RALLY on 21st/22nd April 2012 for all to see just send a copy logo to </span><span style="color: #000080;"><a href="mailto:paul.taylorplant@virgin.net">paul.taylorplant@virgin.net</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">However&nbsp;little the donation it&nbsp;will make a big difference to this wonderful charity so thankyou X</span></p>
