Today my fundraising reached the £1,200 marker - a third of the way there. I have to asy a massive "THANK YOU" to everyone who's donated so far.
Some of them are people I haven't seen for years - I haven't even sent Christmas cards to, but just about managed to stay in touch through LinkedIn. It's been lovely to have so many good wishes and blasts from the past!
Support has come from far and wide too. I think the battle for furthest away is between Japan (thanks Sasaki san) and Hawaii (thanks Em) - perhaps I should do the swim there, the water would be much warmer! So if you're wondering why some of the donations don't carry gift aid, it's because there are a lot of non-UK taxpayers on the list!
It's also been lovely to recieve so many messages of support for the cause - it's surprised me how many other people have been touched by Alzheimer's and dementia. I'm sure that the funds I'm raising will make a huge difference into research, and into caring for those with or affected by the condition.
So, thanks again, your donations are much appreciated!
About Me
- Dawn Holmes
- I'm losing weight. My friends have christened me "Disappearing Dawn", as I'm getting smaller each month. I've had lots of support, done lots of things, and relied on a lot of people to get me this far - so I thought I'd write about how I'm doing, and recap on some of things I've done, so that it might help others on their journey. Feel free to join in! Enjoy,
