Morning Guys

As some may know, my work are sending a bunch of us to walk across the Great Wall of China, aiming to raise about £50,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

I know it's not a Joinee charity but I'm hoping to get the word spread through here and obviously drive my charity efforts online.

It's going to be my celebration of Join Me's 10th Anniversary, I am so excited that I'm going (and plan on bring a Join Me sign I can wear on my backpack) and I know I need to raise a heck of a lot of money but I'm determined and my K10 goal will be to get fit and healthy and make you proud.

I've started a new blog where I'll be posting about my efforts, things I'll be knitting to raise money and also keeping everything up to date

I know there are a lot of charity efforts going on this year, more really to raise money for the charity we choose so this may not be your first choice for donations but I'd love it if you'd take a look and maybe like my posts and help get my name out there.

Join Me has been pretty awesome to me, I've gained a brilliant group of friends, had sopme unforgettable moments, run my own meet and obviously cought myself a prize catch who I'm going to marry next year!

So for starters, I'm quitting eating crisps (cold turkey) which is bloody hard for me but I've got to start somewhere, I'm also knitting, nothing as amazing as Kate's 100,000 stitches or Hannah's awesome Hand/leg warmers, but if you have a penchant for Totoro hats, pink snoods or random stuff let me know and I'll whip something together!

So here's my new Blog, and here's my Just Giving page.

Thanks for reading :)

Morning!

Bumping it up!

With my company award scheme they gave me 150 points for winning Business Person of the month *Yay* and I'm spending some on doing a Bungee Jump!

I've booked my jump, I'll be throwing myself into mid air at the O2 next Sunday (the 19th) to raise money for GOSH, if you can sponser anything that would be amazing.

I'm not scared of heights but I know this is going to be pushing any limit I have but it's all in aid of a great cause

Here's a linky to my page and wish me luck :lol:

Happy Friday!

Hello!

I just thought I'd post a quick thank you - been meaning to get around to it, China was so amazing and I'm so proud I got to go and support GOSH.

Also as a thank-you to everyone who sponsored me I had this picture taken, this was actually my best day hiking, I steamed over an hour ahead from the group cos my knee was killing with all the stopping and starting.

Anyway I'm rambling a bit

Thank you so so much for everyone that sponsored me especially since it wasn't the Joinee charity, Stevie is holding up that half by running all his 10Ks and since he helped me hobble around afterwards I shall return the favour :)

Looking forward to seeing you all soon

Anna xx
