The book has a new owner.

I met with the winner of my book project, Carly on Thursday to hand over her prize.

Mission accomplished

OK. Thirteen and a bit months, 180 autographs, £12,050 raised for SENSE and this project is officially complete.

The winner will be announced on Star Wars Day, May the 4th (obviously)... that's Thursday.

I can't thank enough everyone who signed, helped, and put up with me over the last year. The biggest thanks of all goes to the guys and girls at SENSE for their hard work.

Feel free to continue to donate to this great cause, but no more entries will go into the draw.

My 180th autograph!

I've had great success this week. ILM legend Phil Tippet sent me a card to mount in the book, AND I finally added Kathleen Kennedy! (Thanks Rayne and Perry)

This brings the total number of autographs in the book to 180.

I've reached my target!!!!!

Great news! Thanks to the amazing work of the people at SENSE and those who signed, donated to, helped and shared this project, I have now hit my £10,000 target.... and I still have a couple of weeks to go until the draw.
