Visiting the Himalayas and climbing Mount Everest has been a dream for a good number of years after reading books at the age of 16, such as Himalayan Climber by Doug Scott, The Naked Mountain by Reinhold Messner who have been a major inspiration to me.

Fundraising day on the 9th Fabruary

Well I thought i would let you know about the fundraising day which took place on the 9th February in Bisley... and yes... a slap on the wrists for not making my minumum weekly postings... i know...!! it has been noted.

Well.. despite being a very quiet day at the opening of one of my local sponsors in Woking, new design and interior store, I managed to get a booking for another speaking engagement at the Round Table of Woking which has yet to be arranged.

Unfortunately, we only managed to raise £23.62 in total... so not a life altering amount at all really... and is still some way short of the £100,000... Oh nooooo!!!

That said, it was featured in the Local Woking News and Mail, so at least I am still getting the exposure about my challenge and the charities. It also gave me the opportunity to iron out some issues with the display stand and banner signs, so that future events will be executed far more effectively. It was also descided that I will need my own banner display made, as some people did not make the immediate connection with my challenge being used as a vehicle to raise £100,000 for charity...

But all in all, it was not that bad a result given that it was not a busy day at all... due to sunshine and Chinese New Year Celebrations in Woking Town Centre... I do pick em...

BUT.. onwards and upwards I go....

Talking of onwards and upwards.... Take a Look at The Most Visited Personal Development Product Site On The Internet
