Fund Raising Story So Far

Got off to quite a good start , needing to raise £3.300 to support research into conditions that threaten the health of women and babies.

Bribed my hubby to join me in donating the content of his/our copper bottles (he had loads more in his than mine!) a joined totel of just over £400. I then braved my fist car boot sale at the end of the summer and made a £100 selling off bits and bobs from around the house.

Setting up my Justgivng page has been a great - and this has brought in just over £200 to date.

Friends and family have been fantastic - going off with sponser forms as well as coming up with some cracking ideas for fundraising. On the cards for this weekend:

Steve (my son) and his friend from Uni, Jerry are doing the City to Ctiy Race, from Edinburgh, to London, Cardiff and back to Edinburgh in a weekend without spending any money. Thwy have been amazing, collecting money on the streets of Edinburgh - dressed as Women, as my chairty ride in China is for Women/by women; also collecing in the Uni. Most recent update: Got to the London eye at 7.15 today, after leaving Edinburgh yesterday at 9.00am!!! Will load up some pics soon.

In the meantime, my daughter Miranda has arranged for me to sell "shots" at the nighclub 147, where she works this evening - agian will load some pics to prove I went ahead with it!

that's it for now
