The Sky is the Limit!

streetfox — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:09:00 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm new on here. I recently saw on tv someone doing a skydive for charity and thought it was a fantastic opportunity to raise money.

Has anyone else done a skydive? How was it? and what do you think is a reasonable target to try and raise?

Thanks, StreetFox

Little Legs for Life

HershamMum — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:52:49 GMT

Hi there

Myself and some other local mums here in Hersham, Surrey, have created an event called "Little Legs for Life", in aid of Cancer Research UK. The event was inspired by the loss last year of a very good friend and popular local mum. The local children all wanted to help raise money - some girls did the local RFL last year, but the boys were left out! So, we decided to organise this walk/run just for the children - because kids care too!

We have over 180 children registered to take part!! The event will take place on Sunday 28th June at our local rugby ground, and we hope to raise at least £2000.

OYTS Iceland Challenge! Youth Sail across North Atlantic!

deano232 — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:09:33 GMT

Hi everyone!

Im Dean Zielinski, 17 years of age from the West Coast of Scotland!

I will be taking part in a thrilling and energy draining sail across the North Atlantic where we will head for Iceland and possibly the Arctic Circle!
We will sail the 72ft Ex Challenger racing yacht, Alba Explorer.
This is part of a Young Leaders Development Programme run by the organisation Ocean Youth Trust Scotland.
OYTS provide opportunities for young adults across Scotland of all backgrounds and physical ability!
These trips can give you great ambition and inspiration, and open up doors to a more fullfilling future!
Skills gained range from sailing an actual yacht, to basic life skills such as cooking and cleaning, respect and working as a team.

I am sailing with 11 other youths under the age of 18, all of us being inexperienced sailors!
We will be joined by four volunteer and two professional OYTS Staff.

What i will gain from this trip is the chance to become an Ocean Youth Trust Scotland Watchleader, in turn, helping hundreds of other kids with nothing to do, faulty backgrounds or slight disadvantages experience a life of opportunity.

To top it all off! I have a pretty big fear of water haha

Please support me and the children of Scotland!

Edinburgh Moonwalk 2009

Goggins — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:19:51 GMT

Well i am doing my first ever marathon,i have never really been into fitness and in all honesty was a couch potato,after my dad died at the age of 57 with a heart attack i thought i better change my lifestyle else i would be going the same way ,and with 3 young children this isnt a route i wanted to go down,so i joined slimming world in august last year and have lost just over 3 and a half stones and still losing,i have got 2 more stones to go .At the same tome as joing the slimming group i decided to ditch the car and start to walk everywhere and with my sons school being a 2 and a half mile round trip its been quite easy to notch up the miles.
I am now training hard and am up to between 40-50 miles a week .
Are there any other people on here doing edinburgh this year ??
If anyone has any tips for me they would be gratefully received.

Moonwalk

mrsdkwhite — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 22:44:08 GMT

Hi all,

I will be taking part in this years Midnight Moonwalk across London, I'm completing the half marathon as it's the first time I've done it and thought 26 miles may be a bit ambitous!
I'm trying to think of ways of rasing sponsorship money, myself and my husband run a pub though we are about to move so I'm kind of limited at the moment in rasing funds from either pub. I'm not overly creative either, so I'm a bit stuck.

If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE tell me!

Thanks

Donna
