I hope that you are well. It's that time of year again when I have decided its time to do something for charity. This year I have decided to do something bigger and better than I have done before, so no its not a run or a walk. This year I am going to China to help build a house for a rural community devastated by floods in June 2007.

I will be paying for my flights and my company (Schroders) will be paying for my accommodation, insurance and building costs. All I need you to do is help me to raise sponsorship in order for me to qualify to make this trip. The charity I am raising money for is called Habitat for Humanity. http://www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk/.
