				<title>SKY DIVE by myself (for Parkinsons UK) </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I’m doing a Skydive on the 1st of September to raise money for  Parkinsons Uk. My grandad, Brian Haskell,  passed away a few weeks ago and he had Parkinson’s a illness which is not very nice to watch a loved one have to deal with (visit <a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.parkinsons.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.parkinsons.org.uk</a> to learn about what Parkinson is and the effect it has on people).<br /> <br />  I am going to do this Skydive in memory of my beautiful Grandad. He would probably be laughing his socks off if I told him that I was going to do this but I want to show him and everyone I have as much determination as he did because he really is a star and a inspiration to me and to a lot of people.<br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> To me my Grandad was just my lovely Grandad who loved to see his granddaughters and his children, but  it was not until recently that I discovered how much of a star he had been in the cycling world (despite seeing him jet off to numerous races during my childhood years) . My Grandad was a top cyclist, UK known! He received the prestigious CA Rhodes Memorial Trophy to mark his dedication and contribution to cycling. My Grandad  rode the Warsaw to Prague race four times and won the King of the Mountains in 1959, a feat he repeated in the Tour of Britain. He also won the Tour of Ireland twice as well as countless regional and national titles. He took part in many other races and it was not until a couple of years ago that he completely stopped racing!<br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> Im trying to raise at least £500 for Parkinsons UK. Donations however small will be much appreciated every penny does count and it will really help me to get up in that plane and jump out of it, terrifying or what!<br /> <br /> <br /> Visit My page: <a class="snap_shots" href="http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ZoeGilchrist" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ZoeGilchrist</a>   Please donate <br /> <br /> Thanks Zoe Gilchrist ]]></description>

				<title>Changing Designated Charities Mid Event</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ My son is about to conclude a gruelling long-term fundraising event. His chosen recipient charity has from the outset been stated on his donation pages. My son selected this charity because it was undertaking ground breaking research work into a medical condition from which I am suffering and which will inevitably lead to my own death (at the age of 50 rather than after a 'normal' lifespan.) He has currently raised about £ 15,000 and he will soon close the event.<br /> <br /> The ground breaking research work was being undertaken by a small team and that team was/is led by a specific individual who is acknowledged by all to be a world leader in his field. My own treatment is being managed by this individual and his team.<br /> <br /> There have been recent changes made to the structure of the NHS which are soon to result in this individual switching department internally and by doing so moving out of the department covered by the currently selected charity. This originally selected charity has publically stated that it will not be persuing the research work relevant to my condition. How do we change designated charity mid-event to follow the intended recipient? No donors would object - in fact quite the opposite - they would want the money to follow my Consultant.<br />   ]]></description>

				<title>The Dragon is back and running</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ (THE DRAGON IS BACK )<br /> <br /> Well Guys, <br /> I have actually committed my legs again back to running (well probably walking till I am fully back in training) :D after my Hip operation, and my return will be at The British 10k on Sunday 10th July <a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk</a><br /> <br /> So on top of the Masquerade Ball <a class="snap_shots" href="http://bit.ly/lwDeBm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/lwDeBm</a><br /> Also getting a new booklet out I have decided I needed to relax and run the British 10k.<br /> <br /> I have to admit I am looking forward to runnng it once again.                 <br /> I have run the British 10k 3 times before but because I had to have my hip resurfaced It has been impossible  to run since 2008, so this once again will be a big challenge as I dont really know how my hip will stand up to it, as it has been less than one year sinc the op.<br /> <br /> However  it is a cause very close to home due to a young man in Bournemouth www.theredrangerfund. but apart from that we really need to take care of our young ones and they deserve the best we can give them .<br /> <br /> So I know it is such short notice but would you please help me raise as much cash as possible for the neuroblastoma alliance. <a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.nballiance.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nballiance.org.uk</a><br /> So Please will you dig deep as every penny helps so much!! and I will make sure I finish this run no matter what. <a class="snap_shots" href="http://bit.ly/mSYU1N" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/mSYU1N</a><br /> <br /> Thank you and good luck to all the fund raisers using the Virgin M[color=darkred][/color]oney pages<br /> The Dragon <br /> ]]></description>

				<title>24-hour gaming marathon</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I'm organising a 24-hour gaming marathon for the Sick Kid's Hospital in Edinburgh.  I'm hoping this won't just be a personal challenge, but quite a few people will sign up for it.  Thing is, I can only set up a personal challenge on VMG, so I really don't know how to promote the event.  I wish I could post the event on VMG so that people I don't know could sign up to it.  I've had quite a lot of interest already on forums...<br /> <br /> Any ideas for tips?  I set up a blog at [url]http://sickkidssavepoint.blogspot.com/[/url]]]></description>

				<title>My fundraising</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I've just created a page to fundraise for my record attempt - I'm goingto try to beat the world record for eating Jaffa Cakes in a minute. I've tried, and I reckon I can beat it - problem is I'm meant to be watching my weight, so I'm not sure how much practice I'll be getting in beforehand!<br /> <br /> Anyone got any ideas on where to do this (preferably in Norfolk somewhere)? Apparently for it to count it has to be in a 'publicly accessible place' - might be nice to give out some free jaffa cakes and things. Anyone have any ideas?]]></description>
