Okay - here we go!

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far!  You've very generously tipped me over the £200 mark (which is actually £400 when you consider the matched giving from Lloyds Banking Group).

I still need more though so please dig deep!  http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SarahHunt1

As you've all been super-nice to me so far and no-one has come up with any evil suggestions (my brother has yet to sponsor me), I'm going to start with some sports that I've always fancied...

After carefully poring through the list of sports over a couple of glasses of red, I thought I'd start with canoeing. So, I'm booked onto a one day canoe course at Cardiff International White Water on 10th April where I am going to learn the fundamentals of canoeing, including how to capsize (and get back up), before embarking on any extra training I need to be able to do this...


I promise I won't give up at flat water - I will do the course and get video evidence!

Emails have also been sent to local archery and fencing clubs, so watch this space :-)

In the meantime, I don't want to embarrass myself by having to ask for a canoe in 'large' so, much to the delight of my two labradors, have started jogging (yes, really!).
