WhooHoo!

I don’t often blog except when I’m on holiday but this is a bit special.

I want to write and thank everyone involved in the Penzance RaceForLife, and all my sponsors.

When I entered, I didn’t expect to raise much money. Doing it was more about doing something to make a small gesture against something that I’ve seen destroy so many precious lives. So, so many wonderful people I’ve walked with in all my years of ministry. Some have beaten cancer, many I’ve had the sad privilege of conducting a final service for.

So I wanted to do my little bit.

I was anxious about the event. I know I can walk the distance but had set myself a goal of going a little faster. And then there was through whole business of getting there etc.

It was a perfect evening. The sun shone, but it wasn’t too hot. The crowds cheered, the organisation was beautifully done and it went like a dream. Even my ankles held out! A special thank you to PenSamba who gave us the impetus to keep going at the half way point. And to Ellie who got up from her bed of pain to cheer at the finish line!

And a massive Thank You to all my sponsors. I thought I’d been ambitious aiming for £100. My total today stands at £360, which is nothing short of Awesome. And most of that has come from friends online - twitter and TrekBBS especially. So thank You to You! You are the real stars.
