I think it's rather nice that the person who got us across the £1000 line was from the dim and distant North. Joan Baillie is a colleague of Lisa Alexander, one of our VXWinchester team. However, for anyone reading who doesn't know Lisa, she's shortly to get married! Understandably, Lisa has been spending the majority of her time organising (and worrying!!!) about the wedding. A 26mile yomp to Salisbury is probably a nice distraction for her. Let's hope that the 26 miles is the toughest thing Lisa has to do this year :-)
Our team doesn't just have the one member getting married soon. Kim Small will be tying the knot before too long as well. Yesterday, Kim went to see Naomi House, along with Barbs Dale and Denise Gardiner. I hope they found the visit as inspirational as Sue & I did. It's great that these 3 lasses should go, as all three have made such positive contributions to team VXWinchester. Kim has roped in volunteers and raised some goodly cash, Denise is promised great sponsorship and will tackle 26 miles with a bad back and diabetes - awesome. Barbs should get a special mention though, as she is always raising money for Naomi House. Her son has done some artwork for them too.
Barb's was also given the t-shirts and numbers etc yesterday, so next week is gonna be very busy...and with only 3 working days too....
Still £500 short of our target...
