Just one final blog post before I set off from Heathrow to LA. The fund for St Benedict's Hospice and The Children's Foundation has now burst through the £29,000 barrier and currently stands at £29,386.54. That's almost 50,000 in US Dollars.
Thanks to George Caulkin from The Times, Simon Pryde from BBC Newcastle and Mark Douglas from The Sunday Sun and Andy Hudson for their donations within the last hour.
