Jo, Shiv and Alison (Jo's Mum) on the Macmillan Way, May 2009

Apologies for the long overdue blog. What with the London Marathon and Charity walk we have been very busy at Hatty Towers!

Firstly, a huge thank you to each and every one of you for sponsoring us to do our 74 mile walk in Devon for St Luke’s Hospice.
It was certainly a test of our endurance and lets just say we were a little under prepared and felt unnerved when we met the rest of the group who were all kitted out in their professional gear and water proofs! We weren’t so sure why they found our white trainers so amusing!
The weekend was a huge success. We came away very tired but happy and St Luke’s are thrilled and would like to thank you for raising a staggering £1,800. Without your generous support it would be very difficult for charities like St Luke’s to do the work they do as they are heavily reliant on donations.
St Luke’s are really keen to recruit fresh blood to these walks and we were surprised at how much we enjoyed it so we are getting a group together next year and if you are interested in joining us please let us know........

Next, thank you to all you generous people for your amazing sponsorship for The Childrens Trust which enabled me to run the last ever Flora London Marathon. It was an amazing day! Thank you all for helping me fulfil one of my life ambitions and more importantly raise over £2000 for this fantastic cause. Here is a photo of my friend Anna and I at the half way mark at Tower Bridge. We are still smiling, strangely.

With love and thanks to you all for your generosity and support.
