I don't normally get round to two posts in a week, but I wanted to do a short one to mention the Castlepoint event this Saturday, 28th July.
It is always difficult to ballance the fundraising and training, not to mention the rest of life. But, back in September, it occurred to me that I could combine training and fundraising by arranging a competition at Castlepoint shopping centre. So this Saturday, I will be putting the bike on the turbo trainer outside Marks and Spencer's and cycling for about 7 hours between 9am and 5pm. Those of you who are good at arithmetic will notice that this is actually 8 hours. But I will take breaks from time to time and will need a bit longer at lunchtime to refuel.
For £2 per guess (3 guesses for £5), anyone walking past will be invited by my younger daughter Rachel (plus others) to estimate how far I will go in the time. There are some good prizes that have been very kindly donated by various people.
So if you are in Bournemouth/Poole, take an hour off from watching the Olympic road race and come and throw tomatoes (and cash) at me. All the money raised at this event will be given to the local brnach of MNDA for support of some of the 35 local people who have MND.
And if you can't make it but want to make an entry, put your donation on JustGiving and put your guess(es) in the message and they will be included in the competition.
Winners will be notified over the weekend and will be able to choose a prize n turn. Winners names will be put in a post in this blog as soon as possible.
