Donations Update

We've been absolutely overwhelmed at the levels of support we've received for our challenge and are very proud to report that as of this morning, total funds raised and pledged so far amount to an absolutely staggering £7,308!!!!!

We can't begin to say how good this makes us feel and your generosity goes a very long way to easing the physical pain and mental stress we have endured over the last 6 months.

If we haven't thanked you personally for your donation, please accept our gratitude and remember to keep spreading the word on our behalf as we would dearly love to reach our original goal of £10,000.

We set off for Glasgow at 6pm on Saturday evening, where its straight to bed on arrival; don't really think we should go out on the town the night before we start!

The run will commence at Celtic Park at 9.30am and we are delighted that Celtic F.C.  have very kindly allowed us access to take some pictures and video for the blog.

Sunday will see us travel south from Glasgow through Hamilton and on toward the general area of Douglas Water. Our complimentary overnight stay at the New Lanark Mill Hotel has been arranged by Mike Cleary so thanks to Mike for looking after us!

Thanks once again for all your support and remember to keep looking in next week as our aim is to post regular updates, pictures and videos.

Steve & Andy
