When interviewed by the Gisborne Herald last year I said I would be back. On 2 August at 9am Toby, Idol and I will restart the walk from the spot it stopped.
Michelle Guest at Cancer Society in Wellington has been trying to convince me that video blogging is the way to go. I have done two tries and I am far from convinced of my ability to master the art.
Judge for yourself - take 1 - done on 18 June.
And take 2 on 16 July - decided you didn't want to see me.
Hope you enjoyed the laugh.
Last year I processed money in the bucket through the Everyday Hero donation site and collected the receipts. IRD come back to me with $1,163.12 which has now been added to the total. The donation page from last year has been kept open and the total is $7,502 - less than $5000 left to raise.
I need a backup for Liz as support person for week 2 as her husband is in hospital. If you know someone who lives in Hawkes Bay, has a full drivers licence and is available from Monday 7 August till Saturday 12 August or even part of that time I would love to here from them. I am willing to pay a small wage if that is necessary.
I am also looking for people to do 1 day each as support person for my last week from Horowhenua in to Wellington (21st to 24th August- Someone has already volunteered for Friday). I would also love to have people walk with me for a bit even 10 minutes lifts my spirits.
Training walks lately have been a 6km walk around the South Coast 2 or 3 times a week and a Sunday walk to Kilbirnie and back. Today near the end of the walk Idol found a pine cone in the gutter. Even though it was on the flat by Island Bay beach and the gutter was full of sand and clearly not slippery I decided to pick it up and throw it. Kick a pine cone again might be tempting fate.
