Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been keeping you all updated but I have started my A Level exams (ahhh!) so have been doing lots of revision and of course actually sitting the exams!
But this post is just a quick catch-up to let you know how I'm doing with my fundraising and to tell you how CLOSE Zambia is!!!
Curry Night
Unfortunately a few days before/on the day quite a few people said that they couldn't attend my curry night however I still had around 30 people come and it ended up being a great night.
In the end I raised £210, I would like to thank everybody who came (or contributed even if you couldn't attend) and I'd like to thank the owner of the Indian Sizzler, Mo, for the fantastic food, service and patience!
Cassiobury Fun Run
One of our local parks organised a 10k fun run over the may bank holiday weekend, unfortunately I didn't know in enough advance to take part but instead I helped out and was a marshall.
It was such a hilarious day because so many of the World Challengers from my school took part - not ones just from my group. They haven't given us a fixed price as to what we are getting paid yet (as we are still waiting for our payment and they have called it a 'kind donation') but last year the World Challengers got paid £50 so hopefully it will be somewhere around that number again!

Bleep Test
Our school wanted to see how ready we are for our treks etc by testing our fitness (haha.) Let's just say I am FAR from prepared.
Although I have been going to the gym recently and going on powerwalks for an hour or so, when it comes to running I just crumble so the bleep test didn't work too well with me. Luckily I wasn't one of the first to drop out, so I felt a bit better about myself!
So the average for a 16 year old girl is to get to Level 7 (baring in mind it goes level 1 -1.1, 1.2, all the way to 1.8 each level). I got up to 5.2 which isn't close to the average but it is honestly better than I expected myself to get!
At least I now know how much work I have to put in to make myself fit!
