Wednesday the 2nd May 2018 - Recovery day and I’m pleased to announce the Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation are onboard with this fundraiser, all is good!!! Mike Gilbert is in the Scilly Isles but has been sent brackets from the stabiliser company to see if they fit, he will get to work on this when he returns. In the meantime I have to continue my search for sponsors, one for the training and the other for the challenge.
Tuesday 8th May 2018 - Here’s today’s session after a 3 day break from the gym, enjoyed it and then added a weights session afterwards so spent 2 hours training today.
A different week of training due to the bank holiday weekend etc... we are still working hard to find a sponsor/sponsors for training which requires a safety boat at all times and for the challenge itself. If there are any companies or individuals who would like to help us get on the water please get in touch. The good news is that we have people wanting to donate to the challenge, a justgiving page will be setup once we have secured a sponsor/sponsors. Training in the gym is going well, the support we have is amazing.
