Half way there....

My final blog entry of the day, wow...did I have a lot of catching up to do.

After counting all the cash from the Ceilidh plus some Jigsaw donations that I had, I have updated my Just Giving page to realise, to my total chuffered-ness that I have just passed the half way mark!!!!!

Suddenly, Everest Base Camp looks like it might actually be more than a hypothetical possibility.

This is the first major fundraising I've done since being a part of SCROLL (Scotland Romania Language Link) back in 1993-95 and I really had no idea what to expect, whether raising this sort of money in such a short space of time would even be at all possible. It has been so amazing to realise the extent of people's generosity and willingness to support something like this. It has surpassed all my expectations.

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support so far... this might be the point where it gets a little bit more difficult - a perfect metaphorical parallel to the trek itself. Head down, one step, then other...
