Whats been happening....

Crikey where have the last couple of months gone?
Time certainly has flown .......
 
I cant believe how busy I've been what with work, training, event planning and fund raising - the next few weeks will be no exception.

So whats been happening:

Bollywood style:
  • At the end of August I was invited to the home of Surinder and Safia Bellamy better known to some as "Pure Punjabi Ltd". The ladies threw a party in their home to celebrate the end of a chapter in their lives and the start of a new one. Family and friends were invited along for the day where authentic Indian cuisine was cooked and served, after which we took part in a fun Bollywood Dance Workshop.
    During the party I was asked to explain to the guests my reasons for signing up to take part in the Grand Canyon Trek, and what we would be doing whilst away. I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Surinder, Safia their family and friends, for the £90 that was kindly donated to my trek fund. 

 Kettlercise to the Kanyon:
  • Plans with Marisa Allen of Kettlercise Salisbury have been coming together for our "Kettlercise to the Kanyon" fund raising event, on Sunday 26th October 2014at Evolved Health, Unit 10, Glenmore Business Park, Telford Road. Salisbury SP2 7GL

Trekkers Meeting

Currently we have 29 members in the trek team including Spire FM's Martin Starke, Jas Hair Salon Group's Jayne Prigent, and An.X Agency's Jon Sloane and Eddie Deighton to name but a few.

Each of us have signed up to take part in the Stars Appeal Grand Canyon Trek in May 2015. On Wednesday 8th October a number of us sat down for our second trekkers meeting.


Joined by Hannah Emden from Discover Adventure and Jo Maslan from the Stars Appeal  we met at Parkwood Health and Fitness.This was the ideal time to discuss the reasons each of us have decided to sign up, ask any questions regarding kit,  as well as talking about fundraising ideas.

Above is a selection of images captured during our meeting with lots of concentration going on!

Many thanks to John Rose Photography Ltd, who has kindly agreed to be our official photographer. John will be popping along to our trekkers meetings and any fundraising events to help capture our journey of preparation to the Canyon.
