hmmm.. In a mad I ll prove I can moment I have just signed up to this www.saharastomp.co.uk , a charity trek through the Sahara desert in November in aid of Adventure Farm, which is a Holiday home for disabled terminally ill and disadvantaged children in the North west. So I'm desperate to raise funds... If you visit the justgiving page below you will see that this is not just a standard get fit and trek adventure for me!
Lots know me as long term occasionally argumentative type on here, some will know me from the Ring O Bells where I ve worked on Thursday and Sunday nights for the last year, and others may know me from selling my cards here there and everywhere under my married name of Lisa Watt. Then theres the dog walkers in Brabyns Park and a tonne more probably went to school with me!!
SOOOOO would you consider sponsoring me? www.justgiving.com/LisasSaharaStomp
AND /OR if you buy cards and stationery from me either via the catalogues that are out and about ( A pile in the ringers at mo!) or via my page at www.phoenix-trading.co.uk/web/lisawatt then I am going to donate 15% of all sales to my fund until November ( unless already supporting another charity or organisation) to my Stomp fund and a little more if i can afford it.
Also would love some help... so any ideas for fundraising very welcome.
Oh and I am ridiculously unhealthy...HELP!!

The Staff of the Ring O Bells had a fundraising day last Tuesday for my Stomp fund. Dressed as Pirates we sailed the canal on The Bell and boarded barges ..and a variety of hostelries ;) to collect Gold! At the end of the day they had raised over 120 pounds and had a great time too :)
Lots of pictures of our day out here..

Mark moving this has reminded me!!!
A huge thank you to those who sponsored me and all the local businesses that supported me in particular Mark and Anita at the Ring O Bells. Without their support and the donations made by the staff and customers there I doubt I would have been able to raise anywhere near the £3,200.00 that has been collected so far!!!
So ..I went!! it was amazing!! and I came back too!!
for those interested... pics :)
