Moving on
Lots of things have happened over the weekend.
Firstly, the story did go into the County Press on Friday, which is a start. Also Dave in the County Press Shop said he would distribute some leaflets for me at the Robin Hill Garden Show over the weekend, which was great.
I have also just joined Facebook, found several schoolfriends and so have done myself a proper profile and attached my justgiving donations page to the Facebook profile, so now everyone who discovers me knows what I am up to. I am amazed that some of my friends appear to be all over the world including Australia and Florida - and I never knew it!
Knowing I will need more leaflets in due course, I popped into Wight Business Services in Newport on Friday to see if I could beg a few reams of paper for the cause. Gary immediately recognised me from our Island Games days (1993) and gave me a box with five reams, which should keep me in leaflets for a little while! Louise at the hospice also e-mailed me to say they have put details of my charity challenge on their website.
I also dropped into Brickfields Horsecountry at Binstead this morning and they were happy to post a flyer or two on the noticeboards and take a small pile for handing out to all my fellow equestrians who frequent there, which I can top-up as necessary. Excellent! Just wish more cash was pouring in for the hospice. I must re-iterate that every last penny people send goes directly to the hospice - I have already paid for my trip and will go ahead with this challenge no matter what!
