It is thank you time
Over the past 4 weeks events have been happening that deserve a public thank you. I give them to you in no particular order!
Regular readers to this blog will no that the Arthritis Care management decided to pull out of the challenge. You can read their letter if you scroll down to 31st March. This first thank you goes to the members of the South Shields Arthritis Care who even in the light of Arthritis Care not now been my charity, they have said that their donation of £142 towards my expenses still stands. This is very welcome as I am finding that I may have underestimated the cost of this challenge.
Keeping with donations, may I also say thank you to two more parties. The first been my church St. Andrews Benton, Newcastle, who gave me £150 from a coffee morning they had, and the second donation of £50, came from Wheelchairs Direct UK. Thank you Jean for that.
I must put out the begging bowl, and say to you all, that any donation at this stage towards my expenses would be gratefully received. You can email and I will send you full details. By saying this, I am not trying to distract you from donating to my new chosen charity, The Kenya Acorn Project….You can do that by going to the JustGiving link, or when you see me along the route.
Some of you may no that I have two Jack Russell pups, well dogs, they are now 2 years old, Jack and Molly. A friend has offered to help me by having them instead of putting them into kennels. Moira, thank you.
10th April was they day I picket up the Alber Adventure. That day sees me saying a thank you to Arthur Robson of A&D Services, Newcastle for providing me with the vehicle to take me down to Wakefield. Muriel from KAP came with us in her own car which meant that I could have 3 of my carers with me on the occasion, Pauline, Margaret and Clair, as well as a good friend Muriel. We are working well together to promote the work of KAP and to put my plan together. Thank you all.
The handover of the Alber Adventure turned out to be a grand affair. Not the HQ of Arthritis Care in Wakefield as original planned, but at The Waterton Park Hotel
Walton Hall Walton Wakefield WF2 6PW. I have just noticed from my email that it was Grahams birthday on that day, a belated happy birthday Graham, sorry I missed that. So this thank you goes, as you have properly guest, to Graham and Gerald-Simonds for providing and arranging such a beautiful back drop for the handover and lunch thrown in.
There are just two more thanks I must add. Some of you may have read the BBC article written by Rachel Kerr. Rachel thank you for the article which I really enjoyed your support. Rachel’s mom has and Alber Adventure, so I am hoping to meet up with her to burn some rubber!
Someone has to prop up this list and that is you James Duworth. James, son of Jean Wheelchair Direct UK, wrote an article about me after speaking to me on the Skype t, and got the article in many web magazines. I was not very please at the way I felt I came over on the podcast, as I sound very deep and I appear to be cutting in on James interview. The only excuse I can think of is the time gap between our two countries. For those of you who have read this far and feel you would like to read and hear what I said, here is the website, http://www.wheelchairsdirectuk.com/powerchair%20articles/power-chair-interview.html I just hope you enjoy it.
I cannot leave a thank you list without saying a very big and sincere thank you to you my blog readers. I no some of you do come back and catch up. We are now up to 20 hits a day…
Now for coffee and to try adjusting some more the Alber Adventure to make sure it is just so for me.
Speak again soon.
