What now?

Wow..so on Monday I recieved this email:

To: Waite, Alice
Subject: [JustGiving] Your page has stopped taking donations

It's all over! Well done and a mighty big congratulations from all of us at JustGiving.

You've raised a total of £2,264.90 for your charity.

There's nothing more you need to do - we've already sent the funds you've raised through your JustGiving page to the charity.

We hope you feel great about your fundraising....and that the next time you want to donate to, or fundraise for, your favourite charity - you'll use JustGiving. With the fastest Gift Aid collection around, we make sure your gifts go further, faster, for charity.


Oh...my ...word..I mean..I really did it? And you guys? You really did it too? I am so so happy, chuffed, ah-may-zed that you helped me to raise £2,264.90 (who was that 90p eh? tight arse ;-) ) but seriously, you guys gave me that money to do the marathon. Now, what ever your reasons...doubting I would do it...humouring me as I was attempting to do it...wanting to see me run for something other than last orders....I dont care.. frankly you guys supported me and I couldnt have done it without you.  So all I can say is thankyou from the bottom of my heart, and thankyou for donating that money to Diabeties UK.

To be honest, this email has scared me,  I've just opened up my wallet and not only do moths fly out, but so do the receipts for beer, cornish pasty's and Big Macs so I've had to force myself to look at my Marathon photos to remind myself of my achievement..and I still cant believe that was this year? this April? Really? I did it? And I didnt poo or wee myself while doing it? Wow.  Hand on heart I so havent run an inch since then, I am still missing two toenails, but Im also really missing that "something" & I think thats the urge to do something challenging!  What can top the marathon? Who knows, I might leave the suggestions up to you..but until then, I'll keep you up to date with the dating disasters..as we all know..Bridget Jones has nothing on me.

Thankyou again all, your support has been everything. You rock.

Muchos,
