OMG - I can't believe how generous everyone is being and that fundraising to date is sitting at over £900!!! On Saturday night, Nik and Julie's gala dinner was held at the Ramada. This was a joint event, mainly for the Friends of the Cancer Centre charity, but a donation was being made to Walk the Walk. The fab 2 managed to raise £14,250 and with Gift Aid added the total exceeds £18,000!!! This is absolutely fantastic and allows Nik and Big Gav to give something back to the charity which has supported them over the last 18 months. Apart from the money raised, it was a fantastic nights craic with more than one or two sore heads yesterday morning, even Big Gav was suffering after a night on alcohol free Becks!!!! Well done girls!
Walking target for this week is a manageable 18 miles, 2 5 miles and then an 8 at the weekend! Lighter nights are allowing us to get out into the country for a change of scenery which is great. We're still managing to stick to our 15 minute miles but I'm sure this will change as the length of our walks increases. Mags and I are being out to shame by my Dad who is in his last few weeks of training for the Paris marathon in early April - good luck! I guess we all have to start somewhere!
Andy's promised to arrange a Night at the Races for me in April so I need to kickstart him into some organising! The date needs to be sorted asap so that everyone can put the date in their diaries - will keep you posted! So Andy - get your finger out!
Not much else to report right now so it's over and out!
