I was able to purchase 12 kids polo shirts and some boys underpants at a huge discount from Marks and Spencers in Harrogate with donated cash. Lots of you have sent me toothbrushes in the post, blagged them from your dentist or left them anonymously in the box at work. 85 in total!!!! There's ten boxes of children's multi vitamins which will probably go to the clinic for children with malnutrition. Various second hand books and games. Pens, pencils and glitter.
Unfortunately I have had to put a stop on donations due to luggage restrictions and a certain unyielding middle eastern airline who are not willing to make any concessions to help me deliver them.
Anybody with any contacts to help me get stuff there cheaper or donations towards excess baggage charges will be very gratefully received!!!!
Thanks to Ella Gascoigne at StartupPR for the advice on twitter and general support gathering.

Thanks also to Bear Grylls for the message of support and pretty sure Davina is a secret fan too.........
There will be more fundraising opportunities when I come back as needs will obviously become more apparent once I have been...........
There is more than likely going to be a fundraiser at Kelly Teggin's hairdressing the money from which will go to the most appropriate cause identified during my time away.
Thanks again I am sure everything will be very much appreciated
