Things on this blog have been quiet for a while as Simon & I have been very busy both at work and at home too. I am happy to announce I now have two children following the early arrival of my Daughter Hannah May on the 6th of April. She was born weighing just 4lbs 3oz taking my clan up to one of each. I thought it would be a good time for an update on our Three Peaks event in aid of NACCPO as we are just over 5 weeks out now and the training for this has been going pretty well for the whole team although we haven't had time to do any training as a team which is something that needs sorting before the event. Now the light nights are here I have been out cycling and mountain biking a lot which carries over well to hiking whilst not eating up too much of my time & Simon has been out running, cycling and hiking when he has some free time too. I did manage to get in a fairly epic hike up Mt. Snowdon on the bank holiday Monday too with Steve from Modern Stlying Ltd.Anyway yesterday we had our photos taken for the official press release at Weston Hall & there is a very good chance you may see our ugly mugs in several local papers over the next week or so looking a bit like the picture I have attached to this post which features Simon & Myself along with Racheal Olley from NACCPO in the centre, Steve from Modern Styling Bottom right, Mike Feist & Mick Maddox of Edmunsons Electrical fame centre top & Trevor Nichols owner of Weston Hall top right in front of Weston Hall with a badly parked van in the way.
Fund raising is going OK so far with £70 raised and of course the guesses are coming in for our finish time competition. To qualify for a meal for two at Weston Hall including a bottle of bubble all you have to do is donate £5 or more to the challenge and let me know your finishing time guess. The closest to the time taken to complete the entire challenge wins. Our target is to raise £500 at the moment and any donation of any size will be a huge help to the charity. http://www.justgiving.com/csfire is the link to our just giving page donating is both easy and secure from this site.
If I don't get time to update before the event Simon & I would like to thank everyone that has donated so far and if you are planning on donating be sure to do so and get your entry to the finish time contest in.
