ABOUT ME!

In May 2007 I took part in a Charity Fund Raising Challenge to Peru and raised over £5,000. on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support. I found the whole experience invigorating, challenging and very rewarding, so I have decided to sign up for a similar challenge, but this time in Nepal. Please show your support for Macmillan Cancer Support by sponsoring me. Many Thanks, Adam

Deadline day approaching.................

Just over a week til I set off!!!!!! I'm taking part in the second trek, the first group having just returned. They said the challenge was really tough and a lot harder than expected. The monsoon season stayed around a little longer than normal so they got a soaking everyday!!! Worst bit though sounds the "LEECHES" which were described "quite a problem". Oh well, in for a penny in for a pound as they say. Been doing lots of walking and running so feel pretty fit. Having said that getting a little nervous about leeches!!!!

Car Boot Sale!!!!!!!

Feeling a little bit tired today as yesterday I got up at around 5.30am to do a car boot sale!!!! Sold most of the items and raised £98.70 to add the total. I had some help from my sister and we had loads of messages of support so thankyou to everyone who bought something!!!!
And in case you are wondering how the training is going.......................well then..............I've been doing some really long walks up and down some rather steep hills at the weekend and a couple of times during the week I'm going to the gym.

Presentation Night at The Standard Tandoori & Balti Restaurant


Thank you to everyone who came along on Tuesday 20th May to my Presentation. Although I was a little nervous I hope everyone enjoyed the presentation and found it interesting.
A big Thank You goes to Mo for helping to organise the evening and I'd also like to thank Mike for donating his time (and his balloons!!!) and to thank the Chefs and the Staff at The Standard for their support. The food was excellent and people were very generous - on the night just over £130. was collected so again I'd like to thank everyone for their support. A thankyou goes to Laura, Mr. & Mrs.East and Janet J. too for sponsoring me as well.
Last nights efforts have taken the amount raised so far to over £2,000.!!!!!
