Very Kind people have now raised more than £1300 for the Brads Cancer Foundation via our ‘Just Giving’ page.

Keep digging deep people. Hopefully we’ll make it well past our £10,000 barrier.
On a related note, I leave for John O’Groats in exactly 1 week’s time.
Bring!
It!
On!
I’ve not heard it myself but I’ve just had a message from a friend that Chris Evans (The Radio Disc Jockey, not the actor) mentioned our JOGLE4BRADS trip on his Radio 2 Breakfast show.
I’m at work so can’t confirm but I will try to ‘listen again’ later and see if I can hear it.
Hopefully it will help with our fundraising.
I used the sponsership forms that Brian created on VZi to try get some money from the people at work.
So far I’m at about £200.
🙂
I’m trying to find out if we have a matching scheme at work as that would be a lovely £400 towards the charity and I’ve not even started bothering my friends or family yet.
This trip isn’t going to be cheap. Yes, we are riding mopeds which have amazing MPG but we still need somewhere to stay, we still need food and we’ll still need to put petrol in the tanks!
To start with there are about 80 people saying they want take part but its one of those things that people want to do, but as we get closer to the date, people may not be able to make it and it for Brian and everyone to organise, we really need to firm up the numbers.
The first payment towards to the campsites needs to be made. This is a £50 payment that is required by the 31st of January and needs to be made by PayPal.
I don’t really use PayPal, but I do have an old account with nothing in it. Thats would be a problem! I did think about transferring some cash into the PayPal account but seeing as it is an expensive time of year, I thought I better try and flog some stuff and get some PayPal cash into my account.
So I sold some stuff and got £50.50 into my PayPal account. I transfered this over and now can relax until 31st of March when another £80 needs to be paid by. I think if I clear out a little more of my ‘stuff’ on ebay/etc then I should easily cover that.
I might have to try to sell more stuff as I’ve got lots of things to pay for (Jacket/Jeans/Waterproofs/gloves/etc) and no money to buy them!
In case anyone’s interested…

We’ve had nearly another £100 come in. One of the sponsers has donated the money they made transporting a bride to a wedding.
Its great that we are making good progress into the fund-raising. Hopefully as we get closer to the start date we will keep getting donations in.

Brian Burrow has worked super quick to get this flyer created. Its great to see Ultra VW & VolksWorld both supporting the show. Its going to be a good’un.
Late last night we recieved confirmation of the show to ‘close off’ the Jogle4Brads trip. So far we just have an address;-

I used my iPhone4 to record the day. It was very wet, my shoes got soaked and I got drenched through. But it was an amazing day with my Volkszone friends and hopefully it can be a regular thing.
