The End Of The Road

"Nothing but a child could wash those tears away
 or guide a weary world into the light of day
 and nothing but a child could help erase those miles
 so once again we all can be children for a while..."

~ For all the brave souls & their children who fight the good fight...

 Just a short blog to update and conclude events surrounding the charity campaign which I organised in aid of Cancer Research UK.

It's now been over two months since Curph, Chappers, Oakers and myself completed the 100 miles (plus?) trek along The South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne.
Unbelievably, we managed to raise the incredible sum of £3,450.00 - not bad considering that when I originally schemed up the campaign I hoped to raise just a few quid!

Although all of the sponsorship pages remain open (please see my link below), we don't envisage any further donations, so this is indeed 'The End Of The Road'.

I've previously written a full account of the experience of this trek, as well as explaining the personal reasons why, so there's nothing else really to add now other than I guess it's time to put the campaign to bed and move on towards the next challenge...whatever that might be?

Thanks once again for all of your continual support, which has been greatly appreciated.
Special thanks goes to the lads, as I couldn't have completed the trek without them.
To Leah & Carrie (Curph's & Oaker's wives respectively) for promoting their husbands donations on their Facebook wall.
Also to Toni Hillier at Mercer for her unconditional support in navigating around the company politics, rules and procedures!
Sally Huggins at Cancer Research UK definitely deserves a mention for all of the promotional material that she supplied, as well as her help and advice.
Finally, there are so many close friends and work colleagues that I'd like to thank, which would need another blog entirely to list you all...but for personal reasons I would like to single out the following:
Elona, Trace, Jo, Nicky, Giverny, Jane, all my Friday night drinking buddies, Angela in the UK, and of course Angela in NZ.
