We Did It, Thankyou to Everyone

WE MADE IT!

Sorry for the late post.

Everyone who took part in the Three Peaks Challenge, 21st-24th August 2009.

Well Done and Thank you, we all returned safely with no serious injuries other than being battered by the extreme weather for the duration of the challenge.

Our joint efforts have managed to raise over £13,000 towards Leukemia Research UK.

All In Memory of Gemma Louise Battersby.

Thank you Gemma for your inspiration, positive spirit and can-do attitude, enabling us to even imagine tackling this challenge in the first place.

For You and With You we have all managed to succeed at Climbing Three Mountains in Three Separate Countries, with Thirty of your close family and friends, all within 28hrs.

It was tough for each and every individual in their own way.

But We Made It, out the other side. Ready to take on anything life throws at us.

Thank you to all our sponsors that encouraged us with your donations to such a worthy cause.

DVD's are available covering the whole challenge, these cost £5 each(Includes P+P).

All revenue raised is donated to Leukemia Research UK.

Contact Dan or Michelle for you personal copy of such a memorable event.

Once again Thank you everyone and Cheers Gem for inspiring this amazing Challenge.

Training Weekend - Scafell Pike, Lake District

Even though there were only four of us out of everyone who took part this weekend, the weather was great and we had a great day. We got to the top in a good time and the views from the top were amazing - clear blue skies and sun - very rare for the summit of a mountain!

Here's to the next and last training session in the Brecons on the 8th and 9th Aug - it would be much appreciated if as many of the walkers as possible taking part in the Challenge could attend.

Here's some pictures of the day at Scafell

Thanks

Quiz Night - Fri 17 July

Another successful fundraising night!

We held a charity quiz night, raffle and mini-auction at Bournemouth & Westover Rowing Club on a gorgeous sunny evening last week and managed to raise a whopping £807.00 for Leukaemia Research!

Well done to everyone who turned up and took part in the event!!

Special thanks goes to Alexis Hack, Meredith Hack, Mike Hack, Richard Major & family for all the hard work they put into making the night so successful.

Raffle & auction prizes such as tickets to Monkey World, meals out at restaurants, car servicing and even fluffy pink dice were up for grabs and everyone had a great time.

Well done to Mike Battersby's winning team in the quiz!

Here's to more fundraising events in the future!

Recent Fundraising!!!

All I can say is that we had an amazing day on Friday 26th June - the generosity of the customers at Sainsburys was overwelming and Dan, myself, Tracey, Liz, Jan, Irene, Barbara, Jason & Kay managed to collect a whopping £641.70!!!!!!

It was great to see Paul Davies who popped down to see us - we were there 10.00 am til 7.30 pm and it was worth every second. We're even considering speaking to Tesco's at Castle Lane to see if we can do it there too. I've also sent a message to my friend who works at Sainsburys, Talbot Heath to see if we can do one there too - I'll keep you all posted as to any response we get!

In the meantime Alexis' dad has managed to raise £200.00 from the estate agent's quiz night which will be put in the pot for LR!!

I've also just got back from playing with my netball team in the Bournemouth & Dorset Law Society netball tournament on Saturday 27 June. My team, Matthew Minxes, won!!! My team has agreed that the money raised from the tournament can go to Leukaemia Research so that's another £250.00 approx to put put in the pot!!! (Yes that is me in the picture mid-action!) I've just got to get the money to be put through my work's accounts and then I can get it on to the Just Giving website.

Please don't forget the quiz night that Alexis is arranging on the 17th July. Please can you get in contact with her asap if you would like to put a team in as there are limited spaces!!

Keep raising that cash everyone - the target of £10,000.00 is starting to look within easy reach!!!

Well done everyone!!
