£12,000.......we did it!

Just a quick post to let you know that we have reached our fund raising total of £12,000. Thats not to say we are shutting up shop, donations will still be very gratefully received. BUT YAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY................................ :-)

There was a time back in February when the thought of raising that amount of money was keeping us awake at night and I seriously wondered if this time I had set a goal alittle too big to handle.

Here is what I have learnt. I have some amazing friends, family and colleagues who given the opportunity not only 'stepped up to the plate' but pounded it into the ground with their commitment, drive and determination to help us get this far.

If you focus, plan and stick with it you can achieve things that sometimes appear to be impossible. With that in mind we leave on Friday for Gibraltar. Its a valuable lesson learnt and one I aim to put to good use on the ride. Gibraltar here we come.

THANK YOU for your contributions.
