Hi guys, thanks for taking a moment to read this
I'm doing my first 24 solo at SITS in august this year in aid of The Donna Louise trust. They provide respite, home and hospice care for "[b][i]life limited children[/b][/i]" .
Thats terminally ill to you and me. These are the kids that aren't going to get better, the ones that don't live happily ever after, that don't get to go home after all. The worst possible thing that could happen to any family or parent is what these people help with each and every day. The staff are outstanding, but the whole shebang relies mostly on public donations and fundraising.
Which is where you come in. I appreciate that you might well get asked for donations to this that and the other, but if you could see your way to giving anything at all, i would be forever grateful, and you will have made a difference.
Please visit my justgiving.com page, and you even benfit the charity by another 22% cos the stingy old taxman will top it up for us!
I appreciate this is a brazen appeal for sponsorship, but the cause is just. I've been training for over a year now for this; I'll slog it out for 24 hours if you'll help just a little.
Thanks
Peter Nadin
gratuitous bump
come on guys, even justa quick look at the page, or a comment, even a STW shocker/troll comment that would keep this up the topic list and might just get one more donor in the end as a result.
Come on you trolls....! 🙂
even a comment on punctuation would do!
just a smilie then??
Bon Courage Peter....
...and good Karma dude.
SB 🙂
hey thanks guys,
the STW massif shows its heart! You know who i mean, and thanks again!
Keep those donations coming, even 50p would be a help!

Thanks also to Spawn, cheers mate.
thanks to everyone, total now up to over £800, just need to keep training now........
any tips?

Huge thanks to Epicyclo, you are a dude! thanks to you and everyone else we are now just short of £1000 !!!!!!!!!
I'm getting more money handed over than Lee Anderson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks everyone, you are all fantastic. Totals now stand at over £1100 plus the gift aid that we get because most of you donated via the justgiving website. Thanks so much. Looking forward to the event so much now.
Fantastic response people, you are so kind. Most recent donations and gift aid take my total to just shy of £1500 when you add in the gift aid, with 11 dasy to go beofre the event, and my solo cherry is popped!
many thanks, your generosity is touching.
Ps - also one in the eye for MissusDrillski when she says how much time i waste on STW!
Thanks everyone, and huge thanks to my new title sponsor
Air and Ground Aviation Ltd
who have stumped up a whopping £1000 for us, taking our total so far to
£2,568.00, plus at least another £200 in gift aid from the taxman!
Fantastic! anyone got a spare 50p to get us moving again towards £3000???
£3,000!!! ( inc gift aid) thanks everyone! just gotta ride it now!
I don't suppose i could change the charity to "buy Drillski the new blingy carbon anthem X" could I?
No but i'll buy you a pot of Udderly sMOOth, you'll need it! I'll see you at some point on the course.

Oh and good luck.
Thanks everyone who donated, and everyon ewho supported, espesh the Loughborough guys who i think were by the litle jump in the woods on saturday, and the folks by the horse jumps/bombhole all weekend!
managed to do it almost nonstop, apart from two shower/kit changes, and 17 laps by the end. Great support from pit crew who kept me going, especially at 5 am, when the sunrise failed to deliver the mental boost i was counting on all that lap.
Biggest problem I had is the slight ulnar nerve damage to my left hand which has left me with some sensation loss on the palm side of my outside two fingers of my left hand, which is kinda irritating now.
Raised a loada moola for the Donna Louise trust and the terminally ill children they care for, headline figure is £2976.41 . Anyone help us to get to £3k?? just 23 quid needed!
Well done!
Hope you hit the 3k target some dosh on its way!

Bump to see if you got to your 3K
