I have The Fear...

Hey guys!

Turns out it hasn't taken us long to come up with a new plan of action. I was on MND Scotland's facebook page yesterday, and saw that they were looking for people to take part in an abseil down the Forth Bridge. So guess what i shall now be doing on October 2nd?! Yup. Crying. And abseiling apparently.

For those of you who maybe don't know me all that well there are some important things you need to know in order to appreciate what a big deal this is.
1) I hate heights. With a passion. Being high up does not appeal to me at all. I like my feet firmly on the ground at all times.
2) I don't like bridges. My fear of the forth bridge is second only to the tay bridge. I don't like driving across it. It makes me nervous; all high up and over water and stuff. And its ALWAYS windy there. If i could drive with my eyes shut, i would.

But here i am, in a state of panic having registered for an abseil from very high up, all the way down a very scary bridge... but on the up side, at least it'll be over much more quickly than the half marathon, and i don't have to train for months for it... Every cloud and all that, right?!

And now for my usual patter. Our fundraising is going well so far, we've reached the £900 mark, but as you know, we're aiming somewhat higher - £7600. So please, please dig deep and sponsor me for doing this. It's simple, you just have to go here... http://www.justgiving.com/Clair-and-Shona-McAdam
