Considering I did my 17 mile run yesterday, I feel remarkably sprightly today. There are a few niggly aches and a bit of sunburn, but otherwise I'm feeling fine and looking forward to 'the big day'...in just three weeks time!
Last week, I listed two donated items on Ebay, and the auctions ended this afternoon. I was thrilled that the items raised £32.50, and I'll add this amount to my justgiving page as soon as the funds have cleared. This takes my total raised so far to almost £1200, which is fantastic...but I'm hoping to raise more!
I've entered a poem into a competition run by Virgin Money, and the winner will win £500 towards their fundraising. It's a while since I've written a poem, and I guess there will be a lot of entries, but I'll let you know if I'm shortlisted...and then you'll all have to vote for me to win!
Also, my good friend Nick - who is a fantastic photographer - has generously donated a photography session for me to auction. (You can see his amazing photos at www.nickstephens.org) I've set up the auction on Facebook today, and the highest bidder by 9th April will win a photo shoot in Nick's Worcester (UK) studio, as well as a disc with the photos on so they can print as many copies as they want.
Whoever wins the auction will be treating themselves, or someone else, to memories that will last a lifetime.
As if that isn't enough, Nick will also donate £10 from every photo session booked by 30/4/11 (these sessions cost £65, and include one A4 print - further prints can be ordered at an extra charge. Please note: CD of photos not included in this package)
If you're reading this and would like more information about the auction, or you would like to make a bid, please get in touch via the 'comments' section.

Ooh, it's all exciting, isn't it?!
