ODAHQ

As you lot are probably aware, I was planning to take part in this years blogathon.

Then they decided, 5 days after we were supposed to be able to sign up to take part, not to run it.

Bugger.

Thankfully, some lovely people here in OD land managed to get an alternathon up and running extremely quickly. You can find out more about that here

So, I’m going to be doing that instead.

I decided that seeing as how I’m not able to write an entry at the best of times, never mind 48 in one day, I’m going to try and write a story. In 48 chapters. In a day. I must be mad…

I’m going to be raising money for Shelter, a homeless charity over here. It was started in the wake of the Ken Loach directed TV programme Cathy Come Home which examines homelessness and how easy it is to slip into. It had a huge impact at the time and, although the world has moved on from 1966, homelessness is still a huge issue. If you can get hold of a copy of the show, I highly recommend it, though it’s not easy viewing.

You can find out more about Shelter here and if you want to sponsor me you can do so here

All I know about Cathy Come Home is that it ran at the same time as the Troughton Who. No doubt a worthy cause, though!
