Fund-Raising

It's ten weeks today until RideLondon.  10.  As in 'one more than 9' and 'one less than eleven'.  EEEEK.  I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine...

Last week I vowed to not eat chocolate and drink less wine.  I have done well on both counts - who knew giving up chocolate would be so simple, eh?  Although I did have a slice of the Melodeon Master's chocolate birthday cake today (it would have been rude not to and it was a teensy slice) and because it's his birthday there has been wine involved...

I have promised to raise a minimum of £650 for Guide Dogs for the Blind.  I like round numbers, so I've made it £1,000 instead.... I currently have £246 and I need to get cracking.

Because I think you should get a reward if you sponsor me, I've also set up a competition... Regular readers (the Melodeon Master's Mum, 36 people in Russia and Laura from Cardiff [hello Laura]) will know that the Melodeon Master and I make cakes.  If you donate just £5 you're in with a chance of winning one of our decorated party/special occasion cakes.  You can have whatever you want, like these:





We probably haven't thought it through in case somebody in Russia wins it....

  1. Oooh, an official mention! It's only right to cough up then, isn't it? Which I will do. I'm not really from Cardiff either, even though Google thinks I am. I live in Llanbradach so I fully understand the hill thing. And, as a fully paid up member of the "didn't get round to training" club I'll be tackling Caerphilly 10k on Sunday having run zero miles since last Thursdsy - wish me luck!
