Ok here are the plans to date:
16th July 2011 - Relay for Life - raising money for Cancer Research by running/jogging/walking for 20 hours (taking turns at an hour a time). At the moment there are five of us so that means four hours each.
29th-31st July 2011 - Climbing Ben Nevis - raising money for Macmillan. Macmillan were and are still a tremendous support to Stuart, my sister and the kids, and even offered advice and counselling to friends and their kids. What a wonderful job the nurses do. Clare, the nurse who has been supporting my sister Sarah, will turn up at her door at the drop of a hat, just so that she has someone to talk to. Clare's support has been invaluable, and like everyone else these days, there are costs being cut, and they need money to improve cancer care and to continue doing the wonderful work they do.
18th September 2011 - Great North Run - should get confirmation of my place tomorrow with any luck. Crikey I'd better get into practice! Can't even run for a bus. Again, this is to raise money for Macmillan
25th February - 4th March 2012 - 100km trek across the Sahara Desert for Macmillan!
Let's see how much I can raise. For now though, it's Sunday lunch and then off to work.
Fact of the day: Athletes wearing red are far more likely to win events than athletes wearing another colour. Oh poo! My Cancer Research t-shirt is pink and my Macmillan t-shirt is green. Red shorts it is then.
