There's a lot of things to consider between now and when we leave in March, that I'm trying to mentally prioritise tasks, which is why I'm not worrying particularly over issues such as what I'm going to take with me etc. There'll be time for that. Apart from my parents/brother, I've only mentioned it to a couple of people, haven't had any strange reactions - perhaps they're too polite or don't believe I'll do it! |

Glad its not just me! I've only told my 'friends' at the moment - don't know why they have all laughed hysterically. Might have something to do with the fact the furthest i usually walk is to the car and back! Just have to park the car the other side of the sahara i suppose. Tracey -x- |

well done Ali, great to have you on board. Daisy and Kerry, try not to worry about the blank looks, it beats the laughing fits my lot have had :-(, or the 'are you totally mad' comments, followed by 'could you not have found something close to home/easier?', but as i keep saying its not a challenge if its easy! Oh and yes, i am mad, its just official now ,lol. Yvette |

Hi guys, You need to get cheques for as much of the money as possible, but yes your eFundraising will go towards your final figure.... we need to bank loads as the money will come from that to pay for your trek! 80% of the £3500 must be collected by January 2006. £900 is the cost of your trek and the rest goes to Cancer Research UK. I hope to get a HUGE cheque that we can handover and get publicity! If you need anything just email me at thepinkfund@handbag(.)com Pink xx |

Well I`m so excited now!! My site is up and running, I have just emailed all my family the site, so they better start donating! Do the donations from the site go towards the £3500?? Hopefully my mums company will sponsor me alot and I have my 21st coming up in November! Here`s a question though, do any of you get the same blank,vacant look when you tell people? I do, don`t know why as I`m quite fit but my mum burst out laughing and asked how I was going to manage without chocolate, hair dryer,straighteners etc lol. Which reminds me, if I can find a little,little fridge, I`ll take choccie LOL!! xxxx |
