We're up to £80!

The Man Bingo went down a treat - every square was taken and £28 was raised from it after the £10 voucher that was given as a prize was taken out. I added £2 to round it up! I've also been given more money by online donors so that makes £80! Fab! And I haven't even sent my paper sponsor form round yet!

Fundraising idea...

As the walk is getting closer I decided to raise some money at work with a "Man Bingo" card! Basically, I spent many long hours perusing the internet for handsome famous men (it was such a chore!) and I put the pictures onto a card. People then pay £1 for each man they want to choose and the winner is selected at random and the person who chose the winning square wins a £10 voucher for Boots, with the remaining proceeds going to the charity. A bit sexist, you may say, BUT even the men have had a go! (At first they just wanted to give a pound without picking a man, but I made them enter into the spirit of it and choose one!!). It has gone down down a treat - I'm going to make a football team one and get my OH to take it round his workplace.
So far I've been given £20 donations from people, I also added £10 from money I saved from making homemade Christmas cards instead of buying them so £30 so far! I've got another couple of ideas up my sleeve too, so watch this space...

The walk training has started!

Okay, so we have started our training. Mum has just relocated for work so her offices are now down the road, a good walking distance away and she tells me she's been walking most days! The peeps in my office have all decided that they want to be a bit more active at work so we have agreed that we shall have a group walk to the local Booths a couple of days a week, which is about 2 miles return journey. Not far, I know, but it's a start! Soon we will be organising some walking at the weekend, to get some miles in our legs. The date is flying closer - only 106 days to go!
