The Best Beech Inn, NAUKA FUNDRAISING PUB QUIZ, 2nd November 2016.

Pull together your collective brain power and organise your teams of 6.

Fantastic morning walk - 3.5 and 10 miles raising £440 for Nauka. Thank you to Alex Carmichael for leading 36 walkers without losing anyone! Thanks to the fabulous Lorraine and Steve at the Best Beech for feeding us all for free. Thanks to Neil who acted as our support vehicle to pick up anyone too tired to carry on (no-one was).

Simon, Graeme and myself (the Trustees of Nauka) would like to extend an enormous thank you to you all for supporting the fundraising efforts of Nauka on 11th June 2016. In total, income generated from the auction, the raffle and donations from people who were unable to attend the event amounted to £1865 - a phenomenal amount.

Nauka's plans for the relief of poverty or financial hardship by the empowerment of disadvantaged women (and their families) in Zambia is reliant on these fundraising efforts in order to get the work off the ground.

Happy International Women's Day. Join Simon and I on 11th June 2016 at the Neville Golf Club, Tunbridge Wells for dinner and a boogie. Tickets £45. All funds raised will contribute to the work of Nauka, helping disadvantaged women in Zambia through education, mentoring, training and support in starting up in business.

The run is done. My legs have recovered. My feet ... well they're getting there. All that's left to do now is to gather your generous fundraising sponsorship - let me know if you're having problems getting your donations to me. THANK YOU from me and all the women you will be supporting!!!!!!!!!

Well I've only gone and blooming done it. 13.2 miles in the rain and wind in 2hours and 47 minutes. 😃😄😀🏃🏃🏃👟👟👣

So it's here! Hampton Court Half Marathon. It's 6.20 (in reality 5.20!!!!). I'm dressed, race number on; 1898. Can't say I'm raring to go, but I have got coffee.

Less than 24 hours to go until the Hampton Court Half Marathon. Feeling nervous. For those of you who've dug deep to sponsor me - thank you. Will update you on progress tomorrow.
