It's down to the final week now until I head off to Peru.
Training: As I have now entered the last week, training has been slowed down, according to the exercise program its just a couple of 1 hour walks and 1 longer 4 hour walk. Yay!!
This last week I have done a lot of shorter 1 hour walks with a 3 hour walk on my day, I should have done 2 six hour walks back to back but due to the Easter bank holiday and unplanned family commitments I was unable to do that. I even got up at 6:30 to go swimming on Easter Sunday only to find the pool closed, I wasn't impressed!
Fundraising: Easter has been great for donations, with the fantastic weather there was lots of people down at the Cafe, I collected in over £200 in the past week. This weekend I am hoping for one last push with "hopefully" some advertising & a demo box from Shelterbox. Also Dad and Me will go into the Stocks for an hour before I dismantle them. I will be sending off a donation in the next few days for a whole Shelterbox.
With just a week now to go, I have all the little things to sort out such as checking all my kit and making sure I have anything, then going through again to cut weight.
After the events in Italy just this month, In total ShelterBox has distributed 365 boxes and 500 blankets to those affected by the 6 April earthquake. “We estimate that 2,000 people are currently sleeping in our tents,” says team leader John Diksa. Also this week 200 ShelterBoxes have been sent to Namibia to those affected by the flooding in the north of the country.
