so basically at the end (week 22) I am suppose to walk for an hour at incline 18!! crrrrazzy

Have been to the gym 4 times this week, the plan was to get up and go this morning but I woke up and my legs felt like solid blocks from last nights gym session.

Owwww.

It will be worth it in the end

So on tuesday I went to the gym where I did the standard cross country programme on the bike, which goes up to resistance 18/22! Almost kills me everytime but its worth it when I finish of course. Then I did the hill climb on the cross trainer which starts on a really steep incline then just increases resistance till the end, this is also another death wish.

Anyway me and ellie talked to the gym instructor about a programme and he talked to us about what we needed to do, and he is gonna write it all out for next time which is great. He also said that he is going to try and get warwick sport to sponsor us, which sounds as if it could be quite a bit of money. Plus he is gonna try and get us kitted out in warwick sport gear, and get us on the website. Which will be alot of great promotion that I wasn't expecting.

Also I am now up to £304 quid!!! I know I still have £1900 to raise but £300 is still a good chunk raised :)

Over and out, I have a lab report to write. xx

I was on the train back from my trip out with friends from uni when I randomly thought to check my total for Kilimanjaro just in case anyone had donated since yesterday morning and they certainly have!! I am now up to a grand total of £244( I had £99 the 3 days ago) !!! And that is without any donations from friends yet (apart from Anna bobanna love you!!) I only set up the just giving page during this holiday and have raised more than I thought I would.

I am really excited about raising lots of money, I have to raise £2200 where the minimum going to "Enhance herts" is £1500. But I hope to raise a lot more than that if possible! So once I reach that total I definitely aim to keep on raising money.

I also have to find another grand, for injections, kit and to sustain myself for the two weeks we get after the climb to go and do what we choose.

Ahh so alot of money to raise, but I cant wait to get started as tis all very exciting. Just glad I can do something for lovely harvey :)

Just received a lovely donation of £20 from a miss Anna Notman. Thank you!!!

Just in case anyone wants to watch the videos of the celebs going up kili!
