		<description><![CDATA[So, it’s happened. We’ve done it. The Secret Millionaire has been to Refugee Action and done his stuff, and the watching public has heard a little about the struggle faced by destitute asylum seekers. My phone never stopped ringing and beeping after the programme started, with loads of wonderful and supportive messages from colleagues, friends, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, at last, the secret’s out. It’s been hard enough keeping it to myself since October. By now you’ll all know what’s been happening. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the striking things about doing the walk to raise money for destitute asylum seekers has been people’s generosity in giving. I have raised significantly more on my justgiving page than I ever anticipated, and some of those gifts have been very generous. It’s also very encouraging and quite humbling to receive sponsorship from [...]]]></description>

I had two brave souls, Danielle and Erica, for company the whole way, and another 16 people who did one way only – a great crowd.
