The Race is on!!!!!

Well this has been an interesting couple of weeks.  The gym training is not going as well as expected because both Heather and I have had the flu; Oh okay a "VERY BAD COLD", anyway we have not been able to breath, even talking has been difficult, much to Howards amusement, he lives with two woman who every time the speak start coughing!!!!

It hasn't stopped our fundraising though, we are just taking turns with the jobs LOL!!!

So while I was in bed, Heather spent her spare time contacting load of companies, begging for donations to the raffle for our Race Night and calling loads of pubs in Aberdeen getting permission for us to visit them for last weeks Fancy Dress Pub Crawl.  She was very successful!!!!

However, on the day off the pub crawl, Heather took to her bed, leaving me and Lianne to do the pub crawl ourselves.  I think her timing was brilliant; I had just agreed with Lianne, that we were each going to try and beat Heather at the pub crawl, as she has raised the most in every event so far :-(.  Heather will do anything, to avoid being beaten LOL!

It didn't work though, it may be because it was a Saturday night instead of Friday or Sunday this time, OR it could have been the costumes, but we raised more that night than ever before; Lianne raised £338.39 and I raised £417.86, giving us a total of £756.25.

I was dressed as the lion from the Wizard of Oz but Lianne was dressed as Edward Scissor-hands.  A costume so real looking, one girl ran screaming and hid in the toilets as soon as she saw her.  Bad Lianne!!!!!

Lianne as Edward Scissor-hands and Karen as the Lion from The Wizard of Oz

This brings us to this week and some of Heathers begging has worked well.  We have several more raffle prizes for the Race Night from companies such as The East Neuk, Partylite, John Laidlaw Butchers, plus several others have asked us to come back to see the managers, with comments such as "I'm sure he/she will but you have to ask him/her" so appointments have been made to go back later in the week.

Meanwhile, posters for the Race Night have now been put up throughout the city, watch out for these whenever your out and about.
