I got busy baking yesterday evening - apple, cherry and walnut friendship cake...mmm! - and took some into work to share amongst my colleagues. It seemed to go down well in a meeting this afternoon, and helped me to raise a bit more money, too.
I've started to mention to a few more people that I'll be running in the marathon, and have had huge amounts of positive support, which is great. I've also discovered that a colleague's husband is running the marathon, too, and was glad to hear that he did a 20 mile run at the weekend and is still standing, so there's hope for me yet! My 20 mile run is planned for Friday, and the forecast is looking promising.
I finally got round to paying in the bags of 10p's, 5p's, 2p's and 1p's today, and have credited them, and the other odds and ends of money, to my JustGiving account - www.justgiving.com/jasontherun. This means that my grand fundraising total now stands at £1150, which is fantastic! There's still a way to go, but I'm hoping that the nearer I get to race day, the more likely people are to sponsor me, and Asthma UK is such a good cause.
The items I've placed on ebay are doing well, too, and the auction doesn't end until Saturday. There are 29 - yes twenty nine! - watchers on the hairdryer. I've been back and checked the listing, and it definitely does just say hairdryer. I was worried that I'd described it as 'gold plated' by mistake. Maybe it's time to start auctioning off some unused bits and pieces. I'm sure hubby left an old set of golf clubs in the garage...
