Pics from the Chinese Banquet Night





Our First Fundraising Event!

Hi Everyone,

We are now officially over the half way mark..... woo hoo!!!

We had our first major fundraiser this week at the Orchid Chinese Restaurant in Newcastle and we had 110 people there. It was great fun, and we had a great raffle. The whole evening was a fantastic success with us raising over £1300 towards our goal.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT ON THE NIGHT.

We also spent last weekend on a pre-expedition training weekend in Wales. We took some great photos and watch this space as we will be uploading them over the next few days and you can hear all about our adventures in Wales.

Lots of love

Our first £1000!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Just a quick update to say a HUGE, HUGE thanks to all those that have sponsored us so far, as we have now passed our first £1000... woo hoo!!! We are really pleased to have passed this first milestone!!

We are still training hard, as the Great North Run is only 4 weeks away and next weekend sees us climb Snowdon in preparation for China! (That is if it stops flooding in Wales!)

We have received all of our fundraising kit from Macmillan, including everything from vests to balloons to badges. It all looks great and you will see it all displayed at our fundraising events.

Lots of love

Lyns and Gill
