Whoop Whoop!! The Old Boys come good!

Every year the old boys of 4th Heston have a reunion weekend away somewhere and when I say the old boys most of them are in their 70's and 80's now but all of them are ex-members of our group. Well, the reunion was this weekend and David went along with his dad as usual. He joined in the hike on Saturday morning, well more of a stroll really and some of them need a little assistance when it comes to stiles! Over dinner he told them all about our fundraising effort and the need to replace the minibus and pulled out his sponsor form. He has just counted out the money he collected from them all and spread it all over our living room carpet - £330!!! wow! Thankyou so much guys, a great start and if you put that together with the rest that the Gilchrist family have been promised so far then we are already 10% of the way to our goal.
Keep collecting those sponsors :O)

Motion sickness?!!

Another day another session in the gym. And now it appears, the excuses are beginning to creep in. I have NEVER heard of anyone getting travel sick on a static bike but that's what our esteemed leader claimed today!!!!
We shall just have to make sure we remember to pack the travel sick medicines into the first aid kit on the day!

Keep on Running

So, sponsor forms have gone out; posters are up; facebook event page is looking good and the blog is running well. We are beginning to get some donations through the blog website now which is brilliant. Please keep telling everyone you know, every donation helps no matter how small.
Training is well underway for some of us (tho to be honest, I'm not sure I'm going to survive this!) and the t-shirts are being printed. It's all systems go!!!
