Well, I have been looking for a mission, a goal, something to aim for, something to set my sight on, something that will also keep me fit and keep the weight I have lost, lost!
And yesterday I found it.
I got a random email from Active Fit, can't remember the link at the moment but will find it and post it later, offering the trip of a lifetime, well at least it is for me.
"It" is a 400km bike ride through Kenya in October/November 2011 called "Women V Cancer" and it is to raise money to help beat breast, cervical and ovarian cancers.
All I need to do is raise £250 registration fee to enter and then raise £2800 minimum sponsorship, oh, and get fit enough to do it.
So last night I got on my laptop and emailed all my friends, then I went onto face-book and told all my friends on there what I was planning, so tonight, I'm here, trying to create a blog about how I'm going to make my mission come true.
The thing is you see, I'm going to need a lot of help, both in raising the money (which is why there are ad's on this blog) and the getting fit.
I'm not starting right from scratch, on the fitness side anyway. I have been doing a lot of walking, swimming, going to the sauna and steam-room, and a bit of cycling as well, but that is going to have to increase dramatically as I'll be doing about 50 miles a day on the mission.
So this is going to be my diary. I'll try my best to post something every day, but with all the training and fund-raising I'll be doing, please forgive me if I miss a day or two.
Speak to you soon
