Benefactors the Expedition

Below is a list of the people and companies that have kindly provided assistance for the expedition financially. Their help is hugely appreciated!

• NORAH McCARRON - Yep, that's my mum, but also my biggest supporter. Stretched herself emotionally and financially to help me with this trip, it simply wouldn't have happened otherwise.

• STEPHEN O'NEILL - Donated a very generous sum at a crucial time, incredibly kind of him. See his caravan park business info here at http://www.bonalstoncaravans.com/parks.html#castlerock

• THE FOLKS AT THE GULBENKIAN THEATRE AND CINEMA - Had a whip round!
• PIP, JAN AND HELEN - A surprise donation on the eve of my departure
  
• GAZZ BOYD - Cash donation, to be spent as I wish!
  
• LIZZIE APICHELLA - Money for a coffee and a treat in Chicago
  
• VICKY JONES AND SARAH RAE - Cash donation, in dollars!
  
• DAVID CROOKS - Presented me with a brand spanking new Buff scarf
• MICHAEL APICHELLA - A generous cash donation in New York was unexpected and very gratefully received in equal measure! (Buying me food was also a big plus!)
