Hello my name is James Kelly and this summer I completed Lands End to John O'Groats for Charity with a friend. It took us 11 days to complete the 936 mile route and have so far managed to raise almost £2000 for a Charity based in my home town Exmouth, Devon. The Charity is called the Open Door centre ( http://www.opendoorexmouth.org.uk/). However the trip has cost us personally in excess of £1000 to organise which include my dad driving up with us as we are only 17 years old. We have managed to fund some of the trip our selves but are still £500 short of paying for the trip.
Because of this I was just wondering if anybody knew of any Trusts, Buisnesses etc that could help us fund this final £500.

Thanks a lot

James Kelly
