D Day Has Arrived. Yes or No to this E2E Challenge


11 May 2008

Day D, 11th May


To those of you who read this blog, you will realise that today is the day when it was decided, and agreed, that 11th May at 12 midnight was the date, and time, set to say whether the E2E challenge was on or off.

I can say that with hand on heart, that up to 12 noon, to day, the challenge would stop at Glasgow as I had only two people firmly booked for stage 4, the Scottish leg. I would have said that baring a miracle, I would be leaving the challenge, uncompleted at Glasgow.

The only thing I have learned about this challenge is that miracles do happen, and at 12 mid day to day, Margaret, one of my carers, said that she would move her shift from stage 3 where there were four people in my team, to stage 4. Thank you Margaret. This means that I now have 3 people with me on the final stage, and that we can proceed to stage four, but, and it is a very BIG but, I need more team members for stage four, especially cyclist, fund raisers and at least one more carers. I say more carers because I know I am very hard work, I wish to give the ones coming with me some time off. The Caravan Club sites look as if some spare time away from the responsibility of looking after me, could be great fun and I am sure Clair wishes to go off on her own to walk Megan her dog.

There are stages, with dates, that more support is needed. Email me if you wish to help. I need carers and more cyclists, for every stage. Help is still been sort by Sue from the Heart of the South Care Agency http://www.heartofthesouthcareagency.co.uk/ If anyone knows Sue and want to join my team, then please contact Sue ASAP.

So there we have it, the challenge, the full E2E is on. There are many people who are helping me make this E2E happen, the latest been a good friend of mine, Hazel, who is going to tender my garden while I am away. Thank you Hazel

Yes……………It……………..Is…………..ON.

Now who is next to leave Oliver!
