Fundraising | But I Smile Anyway...

Yesterday was the day of ~~Pudsey~~ Children In Need on the BBC, where the country is urged to help raise funds to help children around the country who may have illnesses or difficulties that they would require a lot of support, physically and financially.

It is a great charity,a nd many have benefitted over the years…

We alway take part at school, encouraging the children to dress up and raise money. The teachers are no different, and when it comes to dressing up and taking part, well, you know me!

Not sure how much we raised so far, but it was great to see my class all dressed up! I had several Pudsey’s like me, and pleny of spots!

Well, today I’ve gone and done something I didn’t think I’d be doing in a hurry…

My friends, the Tootie Frooties (remember them, featured here, here, and here ) and I decided we’d like to do a bit of fundraising, and seven of us have only gone and signed up for the Cancer Research UK Shine Walk in London on September 22nd!

It’s a walk through Central London at night!

There was the option of a full marathon, but I’m afraid none of us felt up to that much walking, no matter how wonderful the company!

But after chatting about it, we finally did it. Signed up, paid our fees and set up our fundraising pages too!

I am quite excited. Walking together, for 13.1 miles (eek!) at night will be amazing! Lots of opportunities for silly selfies and the camaraderie of a night like this is always phenomenal!

The Route

A couple of us did a Race For Life in Hyde Park, London, which was five miles, with our kids 8 years ago, so there may be feelings of Deja Vu, but we are all older and will have no minors with us this time!
