Well - a real red letter week this week.  First of all we have logged 3/4 million steps, so we are well on track.  But best for me is that on Tuesday I registered more steps than David!!!!! He had spent the morning doing paperwork then was in court in the afternoon (for those of you who don't know David has not broken the law - he is a magistrate).  I on the other hand went to an exercise class in the morning which made all the difference.  It felt SO good - I wonder how many more times this will happen before Christmas when we stop counting.
But onto the important figures- we have raised £630 for Water Aid and £715 for Marie Curie Cancer Care - in total £1,345 - we are so pleased.
People have been so good.  For example we have had some tee shirts personalised for our walk and the lady in the shop in Scarborough only charged us list price when she heard what we are doing as her father had had the wonderful care from Marie Curie nurses.  We have donated the difference to Marie Curie part of our fundraising.
More next week on our new walking challenge - the Rutland Round
