*** Would you pay Gemma to zip it for a day?? **
Saturday 5 December 2009, Gemma carried out a fully supervised and adjudicated sponsored silence raising around £200 towards our fundraising total. If you would like to sponsor Gem for this huge feat (as we know what her mouth is like) then please donate below.
Thank you Gem for all your support!
*** 4DIDMOROCCO***
Yes, we've done it! We've cycled and ran through some of the toughest terrains and come out fighting.
The challenge wasn't without it's casualties, Rich injured himself early on though this didn't stop him and with a lot of paracetamol he battled on. We're a determined bunch and Rich wasn't the only one with difficulties. James has a terrible knack of picking up punctures, on day 2 during a time trial he gave up on the broken bike and ran the final 4km.
Thank you to everyone for supporting us this far, we're nearing are fundraising target but we will be carrying on up until Christmas so watch this space.
*** The Oompa Loompa Did It!!! ***
On Sunday 20th Sept Ken completed the Berlin marathon in a respectable 5hr 20min in scorching 27 degree heat.
Welcome to the 4-do-Morocco fundraising page!
Over the coming months, we will be dedicating a large part of our year raising money for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Charity, a charity that gives thousands of young people real opportunities that will change their lives and afford them privileges that we perhaps sometimes have taken for granted. This will culminate in the High Atlas Challenge, a 4 day cycle, trek and 4x4 journey across the Atlas Mountains in Morocco!!
This is the challenge of a life time, and we intend to fulfil the hefty task in the coming 12 months of making it happen and hitting our target.
So please get involved, sponsor us and keep your eyes peeled for forthcoming events which are going to be a lot of fun, and for a fantastic cause!
Ken, Rich, Monty and James
