My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Margaret of Scotland Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

2nd May and see there have been a few donations now but I need to keep the money coming in. Please help me to help St Margaret's and give what you can. Every penny and pound really counts and will help to inspire me to keep my training going and complete the walk in October- 6 months and counting-yikes!!!

31st of May and I had a fall and have messed up my knee and hip again! I'm not at all put off and will need to start to get out walking in June to make a start with the training. I have had a load of wine and champagne donated by my lovely uncle and along with some dolls knitted by my mum- yes KNITTED! , a couple of dinners and and over nite stay at Hilton Glasgow from Laur as well as bits and pieces from other work contacts will be raffling the lot on 15th and 16th June in the Denny Civic Theatre Dumbarton after our schools primary showcase concerts. I'm hoping that all my schools will also buy raffle tickets which I need to get to them by the end of the week-eeeekk! (didn't manage this but sponsor sheets will be appearing is schools!) I have a mate who manages a pub in Glasgow so there will definately be a kareoke nite in the next few weeks before the trip- watch this space for the date! Even if you hate kareoke come along, have a laugh and help me raise much needed funds for the hospice. Pleeeeeeezzzzzz

21st June- well the raffles raised £217 on the first concert night and £209 on the second night giving an extra £426 to my donations. Update 14th July. Getting new boots this week as mine are just a little tight AND I don't want to leave anything to chance when it comes to the walk. There has been quite an increase this week with donations but I am now close to my deadline for the trip and still about £600 short so please if you can make a donation and help me help St Margaret's . More to come on events and I have a facebook page as well at that you can check out for updates  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Glasgow-United-Kingdom/Fundraising-for-St-Margarets-of-Scotland-Hospice-in-China-October-2009/56557126871?ref=ts

8th September- Ok just over four weeks to go now and last week the Hospice very kindly organized a photo and interview with the local paper in Dumbarton. You can read the article here; http://www.dumbartonreporter.co.uk/news/thisweek/articles/2009/09/08/391529-teacher-takes-on-china-trek/

I think a similar article will aslo be in the Clydebank Post this week too. (Link to follow.)

30th September

Wow doesn't time fly? 10 daz to go!!!!!Been laid low for almost 2 weeks with a cold/flu thing! Hopefully not H1N1!!!! Need to try to be fit to walk this weekend- probably my last chance to get a full day or two in before I go.

Donations  are coming along and although I'm going in ten days I'll still be trying to fundraise right up to Christmas to try to get as close to my £5000 target as possible. The local shops in my area have been great and have managed to gather about £70. The local church has also been fabulous and put sponsor sheets in the church as well as highlighting the trip in their church magazine. To all the many people in Old Drumchapel who have donated - thank you all very much. It's great to know I have so much support! Wish me luck:)
