£3000!

No sooner do we reach one target than we hit the next one along! Thanks to Alison's walk and lunch yesterday, Olives continued writing of letters to wealthy companies, and lots of very generous Christmas donations we have managed to crack £3k before New year!

Not bad at all for little over 2 months work, and that means that one of us can definitely go to Cuba!

Keep it coming folks!

(and girls - think we'd better get on those bikes in earnest now eh?!)

We've done it!

We are over £2500! Hooray!

Thank you to everyone for their support! A particular mention to Eve and her friends form the youth choir here in Frome who braved the cold weather and did some carol singing and got me a fantastic £70!

Best wishes to everyone for a very happy Christmas and New Year.

2008 brings lots more fundraising and we will all have to crack on with our cycle training and try and keep up with Caz - so watch this space to see how we get on!

£2000!

Hurry! you will now see on our justgiving site, we have cracked the £2000 mark and are aiming for £2500 by christmas!

Despite inviting a total of about 200 families to my mulled wine and mince pie evenings, I had a grand total of 10 attend, making a very small profit, however thanks to some hearty donations from people who were unable to attend I can add a decent donation to the pot and am now not lagging so much behind all the others!

Sunday sees myself carol singing with a few of Frome youth choir, and Caroline having a mulled wine evening, so with a few extra donations hopefuly going to arrive in christmas cards, that goal shouldn't be too unobtainable!

Not bad for about 10 weeks work girls!

Lets keep it up!

fundraising frolics

Well done to Alison who organised a spectacularly successful mini Christmas fair at her home on Saturday. The four of us finally got to meet, which was fantastic, and we all got on! Hurrah! hopefully 10 days of sharing a room and being exceptionally tired after the most gruelling physical challenge of our lives and we will still get on!

The event was a financial success, with Alison raising £200 through cake sales and traders selling jewellery, toys and massage / reflexology treatments, and Olive matched her by wrapping presents for everyone, selling money pots and Christmas cards and a raffle, so all in the day raised £400! Fantastic!

Did I mention I raised another £10 selling knitted things?! Seems rather insignificant but every penny counts!

Here's hoping the upcoming mince pie do's that Caz & I are planning will be as rewarding!
