		I met Kirsty recently when she joined myself and Victoria Beckham on the first day of the Harrods January Sale.
		Kirsty received a cheque from Harrods on Victoria’s behalf for £20,000 and I was delighted to donate a further £5,000 later that week which was a percentage of the first day’s profits.
		There’s still a long way to go until they reach their target of £5,000,000 but whilst Kirsty continues to do such a wonderful job - if only a few more corporate sponsors offered their support and the public continues to be so generous — the target can and will be reached.
