What a lovely day for a walk. This was last Saturday 26th June. I'd organized a 5km sponsored dog walk around the historic Lanark Racecourse, and some friends had gone round their friends and workmates and got some sponsors to aid my funds for Women V Cancer. Around a dozen of us set of from the Stable Bistro, who kindly sponsored the event and donated a bottle of water and snacks for both walkers and their 4 legged friends. The sun was splitting the sky, but there was a nice breeze and the dogs all loved running around and chasing each other, thankfully they all got on!! The walk took us about an hour and we were well thankful for the water, can't believe how hot it was, unlike the weather outside just now, its cold, wet and windy here! Anyway, when I got home and added up the sponsors, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my friends and managed to boost my total by £280 :) That along with the £60 I made at the car boot sale the week before is really boosting my funds, maybe I'll exceed the minimum of £2800 I need. I would actually like to make £4000!!! If I keep working hard I think that is achievable.
So, future events. Well Jason at the Stables Bistro is going to put on a Cocktail Party with all profits going to my fund, date still to be arranged. Also some of us girls and "honorary girls" are going to dress up in a Hawaiian theme and go on a pub crawl with our collecting tins and any time I get the chance I'll be at the Car boot sales peddling my wares. Thanks again to everyone who is donating loads of great stuff for my boot.
Well off to do some more thinking about other fund raising ideas, and hopefully if the weather dries up, out on the bike again, that's another blog!!!!
