After a couple of years of planning I'm finally getting round to following the FA Cup from the first round to the final. By the first round I mean the Extra Preliminary Round, which involves 406 teams battling to get on the 'Road to Wembley'.

Without replays there is scheduled to be 14 games so there could be lots of travelling. I'll be paying my entry to each ground and hope to raise money by shaking my bucket in the crowd, before, during and after the game.

I'll be detailing my journey through a blog (http://runcorn2wembley.blogspot.com/) and tweeting (http://twitter.com/richthemaster) my thoughts and plans. Anyone who wants to join me at one or more match please let me know.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Well done from everyone at SIB Group Donation by Richard Knowles on 19/05/10
