Had the letter regarding my official Cancer Research UK fundraising ID card... alas minus the actual ID card!! One phone call to the Internation Challenge Team later... on it's way :)
Visited another charity fundraising site today, cycleGENEVA (taken from mtb-wales.com forum), 2 friends cycling from South Wales to Geneva raising money for Swansea NHS Trust Hospital, a meer 1000 miles!!
Nice site, inspiring story and considering they were both involved in serious skiing accidents, good on em!! Drop by and show your support.
A friend in work (debating on doing the challenge himself, come on Carl "you can do ittttttt") who has helped me come up with several really good fundraising ideas has come up trumps!!
He's arranged to raffle 2 (that's TWO) free limo rides for my cause.
He's also trying to arrange a "free" 2 week European holiday (you only pay for flights) in a 5 star hotel/appartment and a case of Champagne to auction/raffle.
More info to follow...
He's even offered the loan of his, a'hem, "touring" van on the upcoming events/training practises we have in the pipeline. With a bit of luck I'll be able to get some stickers made up and plaster his van with them during the events to help with advertising :P
Should help with transport to the events plus it's got power supplies, storage and the bonus being he's even built a mini kitchen in the back, brew's on!!
Some planned events include: Welsh 3 Peaks Trek, Absailing and Rock Climbing, SAAB 24hr Race and a few (more local) charity races...
Carl, your a star mate!!
Watch this space...
On another note, Rob in work has handed his notice in. Will be gutted to see him go (he's one of the good guy's). I'll be seeing him in June again anyway, he's our team captain for the SAAB 24hr race, team name: Bob's Bitches :)
No... we're not intending to win (especially with a team name like that), I'll be glad just to complete the race without having a cardiac!!
Still need to sit down and get all the idea's on paper, along with sending out my "still not finished" Press Release to the local media, just don't seem to have time lately :(
