Fundraising

This is the other challenge - raising the cash! Me for the British Heart Foundation and Steve for the British Liver Trust. Both great causes each with personal reason - the loss of my Step dad John and Steves boss and work colleague Mark Kingsbury.
The competition is on - I am winning at the mo with donations but Steve hasn't started trying yet!

Fundraising projects are the next phase for me!!



Fundraising has been going well! Steve wrote his letter to all his suppliers and in rolled the money - I have had to work a little harder!

Training has mainly started with walks up to the White Horse in Cherhill - I didn't have to stop today!....

Now Done Many Hours of Walks up Cherhill Downs - Trixie thinks its fab but those hills are getting a bit too familiar!

Walking the hot hills in Gran Canaria!

Does trailing the streets in Amsterdam count!!

Time is getting close now so no matter what we will have to make it! I can imagine there will be a lot of sweat and tears getting up what we are informed is thousands of steps but we will survive!

We have done our final walk up and around Castle combe this weekend and finished it in Style in the pub! Have finally decided it is too late now so lets chill for the final week!

Really nervous and excited - We leave on Saturday!!!

Just found out its a hot 29 degrees in Beijing with possible thunderstorms at the end of the week!!!!!
