I am happy to announce I almost have a total raised from the Yorkshire 3 peak sponsored challenge back in June. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I can give you a total very soon!
The endurance challenge for 2013 will be announced in December - so this allows people to sort out a training programme and accommodation for the sponsored event.I hope we get at least the same amount if not more entrants for the 2013 challenge - it would be great to get more people to work hard on our endurance challenge while raising money and awareness for cancer charities.
Who's up for another sponsored endurance event next year??? How about you getting a team together to climb ( on an indoor climbing wall ) the equivalent of Mt.Everest in a day between your team??? up to the challenge? know enough friends who would be willing to have a go??.....watch this space!
I'm still trying to sort out volunteers for a charity car wash - I'm looking at Sunday 16th September...I will confirm if I get enough volunteers, it would be nice to get a car wash in before it gets too cold - also we haven't had a chance to use the new enlarged posters, hopefully they will bring in more passing motorists!!...it's either that or I'll be borrowing some traffic cones to re-direct the cars through the car wash ;)
I had another great climb up Whernside this week, I was improved from my climb two weeks ago, I felt really good and am looking forward to my next one! Will be climbing it again in the next couple of weeks....and also have a Pen-Y-Ghent climb coming up too. I will be match fit be the end of the year if I can carry on like this.
I am back to see my bladder specialist next week for more tests, hopefully he will have some answers for me by the end of the tests....as yet it is unclear if the continuing problems I'm having are just a blip as it were, or if in actual fact, the procedures I had done to solve my problems have in fact made it worse....will know more next week.
Loving been outdoors hill climbing and power walking with Molly....not bothered with the gym, always better in the great outdoors!!
My big brother Graham has confirmed he will indeed be coming with me next year when I climb Mt.Kilimanjaro...this is great, I was always going to climb, even if it were just me....but will be brilliant going with my big bro!! My sister Caroline and old chum Mandy would love to be there at the bottom when when get back from our successful climb.....whether this in fact comes off I don't know....would be ace if it could happen. Then a couple of days chilling and recovering at the beach sounds good to me.
I am feeling full of confidence for my Mt.Kilimanjaro climb next year again - I was so very disheartened after my 3 peak challenge, it really shocked me how bad it was. But every week that goes by now see's me stronger and fitter. By the time we go to climb Sept/Oct time....I will be hopefully at my physical best - I know that will never be as it was before the cancer and consequent illnesses and issues I now live with....but it will be more than enough to see me up and down the world's tallest free standing mountain. I as always look forward to this challenge.
I am open to idea's to help get WoC out there and more recognised....Come the New Year, will push with the local papers and radio....anyone else think of something please contact me.
Also - thinking of putting WoC out for adoption......So you can adopt a certain event or a portion of the year or even the whole year! this is a great way for WoC to raise some funds....and for you good folks out there to get involved, whether it is for you personally or your business....I would love to hear from you all! - I will set out a section to promote you/your business if you come forward to adopt us.....will it sell it better to you, if I promise it's not me you are adopting, and no I won't turn up on your doorstep with my belongings ;)
Please seriously consider adopting us for an event, or for a time period....I will make sure you get the recognition you deserve for this. Also we need Ambassadors for War on Cancer - to help spread the word, to tell people what we are doing, and what we are about.All of you can help me keep raising awareness and money to help eradicate cancer for future generations.
So until next time when I announce the 3 peak total raised, take care
Tracy
