Updates...

Right another update on our progress with everything "Blind Summit 2011"

We have been busy fundraising non stop since we started this whole operation and now have a total of money raised around the £1500 mark which is amazing.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank from the bottom of our hearts everyone who has already donated, your really making a difference both to BRPS the charity who support everyone who has this disease and also my dad who is doing incredibly well and has given up smoking, started the gym, going on 10 mile + walks on Dartmoor weekly and is really going to make this a success.

But the £1500 we have already raised is only part of the total we hope to raise, so keep on spreading the word and telling people about our trek and we can hopefully carry on the way we have been going and the donations will carry on coming in as they have been.



and also another photo taken today of the 2 of us to send to BRPS for use in there news letter.

Thanks Tim and Jacob

Updates...

Right I know this blog may not be getting updated daily but things are still going ahead and still going well.

We have made the local paper, had a load more donations, its all going great.

First off we have given donation forms ( hard paper forms ) in to a few local shops in Tavistock so if you don't have access to the justgiving page then you can still support us.

They can be found in:

Crebers, howels, palmers, Sisters hairdressers, Rhyme and Time and with Ian White the clock maker in the market...

We have also had a few very generous donations from a few people in person ( so arnt mentioned on the JustGiving page ) so We would like to thank them here as well...

First off Bill Brightwell an old family friend donated £150 pounds!

As did Rev R.C. Gibbins again £150

and again his wife Mrs O.R. Gibbins also donated £150

This is amazing and both myself and my father would like to thank them so much...

Mr and Mrs Gibbins also held a sale with there local church and raised another £250 which is amazing and truly generous.

Bringing our total amount of donations to over £1000 already!

This is amazing but still we have a long way to go, so spread the word and help me help my dad to get to the top of Africa!

Thanks

Jacob
