My progress so far.....

21st March 2006

Got the call to say my application had been accepted by Whizz-kidz....I'm going to Peru!!  Very exciting, have got lots of ideas for fundraising and can't wait to get started.  Need to start getting fitter as well, gym here I come!!  377 days to go.....

Began my fundraising this week by making £26 on Ebay.  Started walking to get fit, including a 5mile walk in Offham where we got lost and ended up tresspassing in farmers fields and scrambling through hedges!  The pub lunch in front of a roaring open fire made it all worthwhile though.  Might have an article in the local paper in the pipeline........so watch this space!!  361 days to go.....

How the days are flying by!  Joined the gym 2 weeks ago and have truly become a slave to the cause....doing some kind of exercise everyday.  Including some walking at least twice a week too.  Since our disasterous walk in Offam, I have done a 6.5mile walk up Bluebell Hill and yeaterday an 11.5mile walk round Teston, Barming and East Farleigh.  Starting to get a taste for this walking lark!  The local lakes at Leybourne are being well used as well.......if I could just remove the flies it would be perfect down there!  Recieved my walking boots for my birthday, and the shiney new sheen is gone from them at last.  There was also a very small article in the Kent Messenger last week.......as yet I have recieved no feedback unfortunately :-( but think everyone is all sponsored out following the Marathon.  331 days to go.....
