After much umming and erring and worrying about how on earth I'm going to raise £2,800, I finally took the plunge and handed in my application form for Iceland. The deposit is non-refundable, so that's it, decision made and now it's going to be a terrifying few months whilst I try and raise the money. Credit crunch Britain is not going to be the easiest time to find some generous supporters, and the fact that I work for the charity rules out my company matching my contributions, but hey, it's a challenge for a reason I guess. I'll be holding some fabulous events and will certainly be spending some time shaking a tin outside the shops (be grateful if you don't live in London as you won't be pestered by me), so keep an eye on this blog to see how it's all getting on.
I also found out that the trek is 100km... up and down mountains... best get training then.
