Meeting this week to finalize events

Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a good week ahead.

Feeling pretty good today,did 90 minutes in the gym today, even sneaked in a little extra on the workout ( shush it's a secret )

Hoping to have a money counter/accumulator up and working the early part of this week so we can all see how the fundraising is going!

Anybody want to advertise their business for twelve months? or know someone who wants to? get in contact..For a fair and reasonable donation ( nothing silly like £5.00) we will advertise your business on the homepage on a slide-show at the bottom giving optimum exposure.

We are having a mini mtg tomorrow pm to finalize the BBQ details for the end of the month. Heard that the rain we are having right now may be around for a while. If thats the case...we will be having a wellybob BBQ!!...gazebo's at the ready or watered down cocktails on the menu!! One thing for sure...it won't dampen our spirit even if it does our clothes :)

Ok today,I thought I would write a little piece on Clic Sargent, this is the second charity I have chosen to raise money for. For those that missed the piece on Walk the Walk...just read back through the blogs :)

Clic Sargent is a children's cancer charity. It was founded in 2005 after a successful merger between Clic and Sargent cancer care for children. Sargent cancer care for children was founded in 1976.Clic Sargent give clinical, practical and emotional support to children and young people who have been diagnosed with cancer. They help the whole family cope with the trauma of a cancer diagnosis and treatments. They offer "Home from Home" to the families who live far away from the hospital.This means the family can stay with the child if the child is well enough and if not they are on the hospitals doorstep. From the children or young person point of view it is critical to have their family near by as they will be going through enough with all the treatments without adding the stress of missing the family.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer treatments may take up to 3 years. A really big part of what Clic Sargent does is help the family cope with the trauma of the cancer, life after treatments and unfortunately in some cases bereavement.

The work they do is invaluable to making a child or young persons life as comfortable as possible throughout the whole process of fighting and surviving cancer.

Having cancer treatments is very invasive and very hard on the body.Emotionally for many it is hard to come to terms with, so for a child or young person to cope with all this is very difficult and the need of the family close by is critical. They do amazing things and this is why Clic Sargent is my second chosen charity.

Thank you for taking the time to read!

Enjoy your day
