RB Canteen collection box raises £17.56

When Alex and I did the Indian meal in the canteen we also had out some collection boxes. We left them in the canteen for some time after and the total collected is £17.56. I have added this to our websites this afternoon. Thank-you to all who contributed.

RB Coffee Shop Collection box raises £8.01 more

The collection box in the coffee shop at RB continues to collect peoples small change and the odd pound! I empty it whenever it's getting full. It was emptied last Friday and had £8.01 in it. This has been split three ways between myself, Alex and Anna and added to our websites. Every penny really does help!

Brathay Windermere Marathon

Sunny weather, fantastic course, 4 hours and 25 minutes.

Munro bagging and Trek training

Mark and I have just returned from a break in the Highlands walking up Munros. We decided last year to start ticking them off and have now caught the bug. It also works as great training for the trek (although less good marathon training when I'm supposed to be letting my body recover!). We added another 10 to our list of ones done, mainly in the Mamores, walking from Glen Nevis.

Marathon Training - alcohol free month!

To help me run faster I gave up alcohol for the month before the marathon (I hope that it works!). Anyway, only 3 days to go to the big event (that's the marathon not my first drink for a month) and I'm looking forward to it. The weather forecast is currently for heavy showers, so I'm hoping it might change to light showers by the day but it beats a very hot day.

Crazy Hat Day at RB raises £162.31!

The Crazy Hat Day at RB raised an impressive £161.31 which I have split with Alex. Alex and I had mountain hats as seen in the photos! Prizes were awarded for the best hats (chosen by Trevor Clark).

Fundraising target passed!

I have now exceeded the minimum fundraising target of £2500. Thank-you!

Save the Children RB lunch raisies £480.85

Thank-you to all of you who 'ate a good lunch' yesterday. The takings from the canteen were all donated by RB to Save the Children raising £480.85. Thank-you also to Simon and the Sodexho team for putting in the work to make this possible. The money raised was shared between Alex and myself and has been added to my fundraising website.
