I've not done the walk yet, but it's just 9 days away!!
But what I have done is met my target- I've raised at least £1000. I've already sent off £582 to my charities- but I've collected another £50, and I've got at least another £480 to collect from sponsors!
This figure doesn't even include sponsorship which I expect to receive from some of my family, or 7 sponsor forms in my local area.
It'll be collected after the event and transferred to the fundraising page shortly!
So my money raised could be reaching £1100, or even £1200. That's awesome. £1200 would plant 1200 trees in the Kinabangtan River, Borneo, where REACT do most of their replanting and reforestation work on forest corridors which helps to connect the isolated patches of forest which basically gives Orang-utans, Elephants and Sun Bears a chance of being able to successfully live and breed. This will drastically prevent their extinction and bring them out of the red zone.
Obviously my charities are getting a 50:50 split. With this money, Breakthrough Breast Cancer could buy a transilluminator, an important machine for scientists to study DNA in experiments, or it could pay for a full 24 hours of a senior scientists time to do important research into breast cancer causes.
The big day will be here before I know it- excited but anxious! Wish me luck and keep donating!
