New Years Day Triathlon and Great Pyjamas Caper · 1 January 2010
We did! Luckily the snow stopped long enough for the race to take place. We were there with about 50 other kids. The atmosphere was great and everyone wore their pyjamas. We enjoyed the warm up and then raced down the hill. Euan sprinted all the way and was amongst the first few to cross the finish line. Calum was well ahead of Mum who slowed down after a great start. It was great fun. We are all very proud to have taken part and loved the medals!
Thanks again to all our sponsords.

Hello, this is our first indepedent fund raising effort, not organised by the school or scouts. We have chosen to take part in The Great Pyjamas Caper for the new Sick Kids hospital.
It's a fun 1 mile race around Arthur Seat on New Year's day and wearing
new pyjamas. Because Calum is not yet 8 years old, Mum will have to put
on her pyjamas and join in the fun too!
We've had
many trips to the sick kids over the years, from trips and falls and
broken bones to scary infections and pneumonia. We know how nice
everyone is at the Sick Kids and a what tremendous work the doctors
and nurses are doing. As we're lucky enough to be healthy, we want to
give something back and help the Sick Kids to build an even better
hospital to help other children.

The New Pyjamas Campaign aims
to raise £15 million towards Scotland's new Sick Kids hospital in
Edinburgh. The money will help pay for lifesaving capital equipment,
research, training and support and services for sick kids and their
families.
