And no bottling out now and pretending that it was 'running in an amusing hat' all along...

We want the real surprise 🙂

I can't escape it Mike! The 'special surprise' is fully detailed in a brown paper envelope and locked in my solicitor's safe! Unless I reveal the surprise within 24 hours of achieving my target it will be released to the world's media! 😱

whyohwhyohwhyohwhy...
 
You're not....

Lord Lucan ??? 😱

Thats great that you are doing this so thank you Alan.

DWED is an awesome organisation. I had the pleasure of working with Sian for a short time, and she is sorely missed.

If my car makes it through MOT tomorrow then I will donate, if it needs work doing then I will try after pay day

Thank you Nikki 🙂 I decided I had to try and do something after talking to Jacq in Brighton, so thank you for introducing her to me 🙂 Hope the car makes it through with flying colours! :D
 
Will donate Alan,(another end of the month.. we had to pay out a small fortune to get our windscreen wipers working before coming back to France the other day:(
I wanted to do my LM for DWED but they hadn't gained charitable status at the time.
I remember trying to find a UK source of help for someone a few years ago. There just wasn't anything.
 
i too need to balance my finances ....so will contribute ?10 at end of month ...would appreciate a reminder tho x
i hadnt heard of this charity but have also been a secret bulimic for years ...probably cos i ate cos my sugars were low then felt very sick 1-2hrs after would thro up ...since dx it has been alot better ...off for a read up of all the links
ps if they ever want to set up a charity shop i would love to run one for a charity like that x

Thank you Helen 🙂 Yes, as I said earlier I was going to do the GSR last October but didn't think that people would donate as readily to Paypal, which was the only method at the time. There was then quite a delay with bureaucracy with justgiving which meant I didn't think there would be time to raise much. Mind you, I'm 70% of the way now in just a day! You can run with me in spirit! 🙂
 
bumping this for all you night owls 🙂

Sorry am, I must have missed this when I was responding to Helen's 🙂

Thank you, I have a few pledges now for the end of the month - really didn't expect so many to donate so quickly at this time of the year! Glad to hear that your health has improved since diagnosis. You are the queeen of Charity Shop management, they would do very well! 🙂

Thank you Katie! I'm sure they will be thrilled that so many people are being so generous and that it is raising a lot of awareness too! 🙂

I think I can relax though, with a whole ?25 to go before I reach my target I think my secret is safe 😱
