Leaflets and Trusts

Hi,

This week I have done a fair bit towards fundraising and also loads of miles on the bike and running!

On Saturday morning, I went to Denise, our neighbours, house, and she, luckily, is a professional leaflet/brochure designer! She helped me to design my leaflets which I have now pretty much completed, with her help. The leaflets look so much better than when I originally did them, and they should be printed quite soon, ready to give out!

In the afternoon, I went to Poole Library to research charitable trusts, which although it took a while and was a bit tiresome, it was worth it (I hope!) because I got a fair number of trusts to write to, and hopefully get positive responses!

We have done quite a bit of our cycle/run to Honduras, including runs from me and mum, bike rides from all of us and time spent on the turbo trainer. Luke has just done 5.5 miles to take our 'distance to Tegucigalpa' down to 4999.9 miles, so less than 5000 to go! Thanks to the family who have helped me so far!

I had the idea to hold the final day of our distance to Honduras on static bikes at Castlepoint shopping centre, so have drafted a letter to the manager and will send it off when the leaflets are done. On this day, we will cover 500 miles between the five of us, and to be able to do this we need to average 530 miles each month up until the end of May, when I hope this event will be held.

I had my first donation from a guy at school called James, so thanks very much if you read this!

Today, Aunty Niks came round our house and very kindly gave me a donation of £526.50 (the distance of our bike ride is 5265 miles, so a good number!), which was greatly appreciated, thanks Niks!!!

I went back to school on Friday and start properly tomorrow, so the miles per week will probably not be as high as 265 miles, but it's a great start!

Thanks

Sam
