Hello everyone!
Another wee update! We've got a couple events in the pipeline over the next few months - we're on the final countdown now... 4 months to complete our fundraising and we've only got 25% (around £3000) to go! How exciting!!!
on May 5th a team of eager cyclists will be cycling from Dundee to St Andrews and back (26miles) to raise money for MND Scotland. My mum's nursey friend Janice is the brains behind this one. We've just got the sponsor forms printed out so it's all go now! If i had a bike, im sure i'd be joining in...
On 22nd June we are having another event in Edinburgh. So far we know where it shall be. That is all. My lovely pals Flawson and Aoibheann are on the case organising this - and have told me i need to do nothing but turn up... thats the sort of event i love most! :D I think the idea is some sort of music/acoustic night, but more on this as and when i know! At the moment i'm still largely in the dark!
And of course, we have our take the plunge day on the 23rd June, so far we have 6 signed up for skydive - Julie Glasgow, Gillian Comrie, Aoibheann Keogh, Kirsty Malone, Tommy Malone and Craig Creelman and my Inchture pal Amanda MacBean is going underwater to do the shark dive! Muchos love to you guys for doing something scary to help us raise money! There's still time to sign up - just go here!

So fundraising efforts are entering the final phases, whereas training has just begun! I joined the gym about a month ago and so far i've been managing to go a bit - i've been doing some running, and some core, strength and cardio classes! Though still need to up my training in order to get my fitness up to scratch. But there's plenty time, so i'm just going to stick at it (i hope!).
As well as a little gymming and a little running, i've also been on a few wee walking expeditions around Edinburgh. I've seen a few strange sights, got lost, got wet and had sore feet more than once! Here are a few photos from my training walks...
