Overwhelmed!!!

This word is the only one that I can use to describe how I'm feeling at the minute and it's all down to the generosity of everyone who has donated to this great cause! Hazel's fundraiser was a fantastic success - both as a fundraiser and as a social occasion! We managed to raise a staggering £600 which is just unbelievable - you are all too generous! It was also a great night's craic, Vanessa's stories kept us in stitches all evening......thanks, Hazel!

This has raised the total so far to £1,810!!!! We're now hoping for £2,000! I can't believe it as I'd thought we'd be doing brilliantly to get to £1,000!







Now for the update on the walking front. Yesterday Mum and I walked 18 miles in 4 hours 47 minutes round Portstewart and Portrush. I took Andy's advice and ate something every hour or so which seemed to do the trick as I didn't suffer the same tiredness which had happened last week...cheers, Andy - all those hours on the tinternet has paid off! Next weekend we've to walk 20 miles and that's the last big one before the real thing! I can't believe that the end is in sight and that there's only just over 2 weeks to go!

Our final instructions pack arrived this week and we now have everything we need for the Big Night! I felt very emotional reading the instructions, not sure why but I think it's the first time I've realised what a big event this is! I can't really imagine what 15,000 people in a tent is going to be like. I'm really looking forward to it now, I'm confident that we'll finish it and it should be fun!

Bye for now. Lx
