Little update:

Got a phone call out of the blue this afternoon, it was from Nikki Scott the founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, Nikki’s husband Cpl Lee Scott was killed in Afghan in 2009.
She was basically thanking me for signing up for the fundraiser and also she had spotted I had changed my target twice so soon in to the challenge.

I explained it was down to the response and generosity of the people on the GM Forum, I explained what the Forum is and what you’ve done in the past and she was delighted to hear about it and asked me to pass on her thanks to the forum and to assure you all that every penny raised is put to good use to ensure the charity provides assistance to hundreds of bereaved British Forces children around the UK.

Support offered to the children includes access to professional bereavement counselling, fun activities such as holiday breaks and group events, gifts at important times of the year and personal development assistance through educational grants.

Thanks again.

Excellent Paul, but just think how good it could really have been if I wasn't on so many folk's 'Ignore' list. I guess they can't see my Threads or comments.... might explain some significant absences. :eek::eek: Still a significant Forum up-take!! :):)

Now beaten my £500.00 target and upped to £600.00 after more generosity from the forum. Massive thanks.
 
Just an update for all those that kindly sponsored me, I completed the challenge today by running a 10K in glorious weather. Thank you again to those that sponsored me and supported my efforts, just under £600.00 raised in donations and a further £130.00 in gift aid.(y)
