Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am raising money for Leukeamia Society (UK) i have done 3 different events last year and the fourth was cancelled which I'm aiming to do this year. The events were a sponsored 10k walk on the 28th of June, the adidas women's 5k challenge on the 7th of September and abseiling in Croydon on the 5th of October at 140ft descent. As most of you know i have been a volunteer & fundraiser for the society for the last 10 years by visiting patients in hospitals, providing friendship & moral support.

Well, I did my abseiling on a very cold & wet day.It was very scary standing on the top looking at the ground at the bottom. Yes - 140 ft above ground! But I did it & felt very emotional at the end that I have achieved something like that. Yes, I will be doing it again next year. This was a joint event for Anthony Nolan & The Leukaemia Society.
 
As for the fire eating event - it has been cancelled for the second time due to the low numbers, but I'm not at all suprised about that. I still intend to do it this year as soon as it becomes available again.
 
In December 2008, I was nominated by Nike as their most influent person of the month for all the different charities & fundraising I have been doing over the years.  I was rewarded with designing & customising my own trainers! (Pictures will be coming soon).
 
So now,I am already commiting to this year's challenge which moves from running & abseiling to trekking. My new fundraising page is at http://www.justgiving.com/angelaorphanou1 so do please click acrossto that site.
 
Training for this event it will be hard due to the weather here but I'm starting on Monday 9th February. First on my agenda is to give up smoking, and start walking to work. I'm sure with your help & support I will be able to achieve this.
 
I will create a blog to keep you informed of my successes (and failures!!) as I go along with my training.
 
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.
It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me:
The Leukaemia Society (UK) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Many thanks for your support.
