Well - its just 3 weeks to go till departure day!
I've been asked to write a report for HFT about how I am feeling right now - pre-departure time - and I think its safe to say that I'm pretty excited yet the most prevalent emotion right know is one of angst and worry.
Will everything work out? Will I forget something? Will I have enough money?
The answer to all these questions is - WHO KNOWS!
I suppose in hindsight none of these fears will matter because I will be having such a good time! I do enjoy being adventurous and living life on the edge so I suppose 'the not knowing' adds to all the excitement.
Well so far I have completed my sponsored climb and raised about £160 from that - many thanks to all those who sponsored me.
£146 was raised at a church cake sale - which is an incredible sum - wasn't expecting that at all - a huge thanks to everyone for their generosity and to all those who baked cakes.
Fantastic news - I received a £500 grant from Hazel's Footprints Trust - £500 that's just phenomenal! that money will make such a difference.
I also have £210 raised from a previous event on world AIDS day.
The Family Fun Day will be taking place on 9th June 10-2pm, I'm hoping for a great turnout and hope that lots more funds will be raised to go towards the project. Anyway, I will try to keep you updated on how things go with that.
I still need money so if you've got some spare - lol :)
I've had most of my jabs so far, just need Hep A again. I'm waiting to hear from my doctor about what to do regarding malaria tablets. I told her I was not happy taking the ones I took last time as the side-effects were very unpleasant - to say the least!
Ill try to keep you informed of new developments and I will definitely try to put something in before I leave.
Take care,
Isabelle
