Moving forward - with only 11 weeks to go!

Finally we have had photos taken ready for the mailing of our press releases (if only the politicians can make a decision I could send them - I need some more peace in the media!)

However, we have the ball rolling with our justgiving site - you can see the widget to the right of this blog (sorry Facebook users - please go to the blog at http://bit.ly/cjQKy6) - if you click through you'll be able to read a little and see a great video by clicking on "My Videos" on the JG site.

A friend of ours has agreed to donate his sponsorship for an Iron Man competition this Summer (more below) so I am working with him to maximise his reach too.

Regarding vaccinations, Nikki and I only have Yellow Fever left, the children have that and the last of the three Hep B's.

Joan, our team-mate, is also circulating the press releases throughout her network too - she'll be hosting a Ugandan meal for approx 25 people at her house this Friday! A great deal of work - but she knows just what she's doing as a caterer!

As well as this she is leading the initiative for a cake sale at church on Sunday 16th - watch out for some lovely cakes to raise funds for the Ugandan team costs.

Other fundraising initiatives that are forming are a World Cup Widows Pampering Evening (I think a few guys round for a match will be a good antidote!) that Nikki is organising - and my 10k - a feable event in comparison with our friend's Iron Man:

On August 1, 2010, the city of Regensburg will host the inaugural IRONMAN Regensburg. Only 4 months after opening registration, over 2,000 athletes from 54 countries have entered the race to tackle the race distance of 3.8 k swim, 180 k bike and 42.2 k run.

Ha - a walk in the park! He has joined the growing number of people engaging with this mission - offering garden and dinner parties and their houses for pamper evenings.

Thank you for taking the journey with us!

More soon. x
