One month in...

Hi,

So I'm already one month into my fundraising year, and everything seems to be going pretty well. This month, overall, in the bike ride/run to Tegucigalpa, 735 miles have been completed, so thanks to Jack, Luke, Mum and Dad for all your miles over the last month...only 4530 to go now!! Me and Mum did a 9.8 mile run on Sunday, the furthest since the Great South Run last year, which was pretty hard but worth it for the miles, and training for the run itself!

This weekend, Mum and Dad are doing the 44 mile Wiggle New Forest cycle ride, and then on Sunday Jack, Dad and Me are doing the 70 mile version (I don't know how Dad will cope!!!). This will total to just under 300 miles, which will be amazing for just one weekend!

I have finished my letters to charitable trusts and they are being printed out today, as well as those that I have written to as many other people I can think of (family, friends etc.). I have also received a letter from my school's headmaster saying that I should be able to get some money from the school's travel bursary, which is great news!

I guess I'll be writing a lot of envelopes this week/weekend, which will mean (hopefully) that some charitable trusts respond positively and give me some of their money! I'm also going to book a local village hall, where I intend to hold a quiz night in the new year, and I'm going to write to local supermarkets to try to organise a bag packing event.

I've also just sent of my university UCAS application, so now that's out of the way, I can concentrate a bit more on fundraising and other events!

Thanks for reading,

Sam
