It's refreshing to know that even in the midst of an apparent recession and with so many people facing financial uncertainty that there is still such a thing as the kindness and charity of strangers.

During the week I had an email from Justgiving announcing that Ian Frame had made a donation to the challenge. It turns out that this Ian Frame found the Justgiving page and decided that, as he shared the same name as my uncle, he would make a donation because it was a worthy cause.

So if you're reading this Ian Frame, thank you so much for the donation!

In related news, I've now broken the £200 mark in donations so huge thanks go out again to everyone who's supporting the challenge so far this year! And remember, if you still want to donate, there's plenty of time left, I'm keeping on going all season long!
