Well it’s 2 days before we leave for London and 3 before we fly off on our big adventure. All the work that has to be done has been done, the cases have been packed, unpacked and packed again several times (and probably will be again!!). We have to do a final count up but we think we have raised just under £650 an amazing amount and we both want to say again a big thank you to everyone who has donated money & items to the good causes we’re supporting. On saturday we met up with Francis Glynn from GTS/GETSuk at the Tate cafe in Liverpool and gave him £300, which with gift aid means a total of £375, you can see by the photo who came straight from work! Francis is also our landlord for the duration of our trip, so we also got last minute contacts and general info.

So that’s it we’re all set. Thanks again for all your help & support over the last months & a massive thanks to the family and friends who have supported us through the highs & lows of organising this trip. On a personal note I want to thank my wonderful husband David Brodie. Without his support I would never have got through the last three years of training and certainly not been able to plan a trip of this length. He is my light & my life & I love him very much. (Ok that’s it, sorry to those who are now feeling queasy!!!).
Keep checking in, we will post on here as often as we can.
