Why did you decide to become a campaigner? I have already had some pretty adventurous experiences (see Things I've Already Done list). Now I'm inspired by Sebastian Terry to really 'Live & Give' by supporting Camp Quality, a truly worthy cause... Besides, I can never have too many Drops of Jupiter in MY hair!
