My story

 

-1 Day.

3 x Black Toes. 2 x Blisters.1 x Strained Foot Ligament. 1 x Strained Quad.

One of the best days of my life. Just amazing.

THANK YOU all so much for all of the sponsorship, we have managed to raise an unbelievable amount for Contact The Elderly.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to my sherpas (wow wow wow) and other course side spectators - Mile 1, 5, 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 - you really, really made all the difference.

****Contact The Elderly (www.contact-the-elderly.org)

This is a really wonderful charity that I volunteer for. I am the co-ordinator for the Greenwich Contact The Elderly Group. Once a month the Greenwich volunteer Drivers and I take a group of people, aged 75 or over, to a tea party hosted by another volunteer. This really makes a huge difference to the lives of these people, many of whom could go for months without seeing anyone without Contact.

"I felt that I had come out of a dark tunnel into the light. Before I joined Contact, I thought that my life had ended - and now it's started again!" an elderly guest.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Contact The Elderly 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.

I feel somewhat guilty that I may have helped to talk you into this... Good Luck Em. C U on the day! Donation by Kt Jeffs 07/02/08
