At about the same time as we were flying across the Atlantic, my fabulous friend - Dr Dave Tittle - was pedalling his heart out, putting the miles in for the Any Which Way Challenge.
Dave spent October 18th at his Veterinary Hospital astride an indoor bike and pedalled for over 10 hours. This challenge was called The Sufferfest and involved 10 gruelling cycling video challenges.
We were never in any doubt that he would complete the task!
He also knocked another 146 miles off of our target - amazing!
So many people helped Dave on the day, especially Andy U, Louise and Ben, Nina, Jon, Ellis, Geraldine, Andrew B, Phil, Lisa Marie, Kate, Claire, Gina and Rob. To all of them and everyone who else who supported and donated - thank you! You are wonderful people!
Sir Dr Dave - as we now have to refer to him ;-) - raised over £1000 as his epic challenge even went Stateside and when we arrived Dean, Caroline and Amy made a really generous donation to his fund. As did the Doskis family! We were so overwhelmed by such generosity and it was really lovely to meet them too. Thank you never seems to convey how grateful we are to each and everyone of you xxxx
Sir Dr Dave also did some great tick awareness publicity too - http://www.mypetonline.co.uk/news-and-features/news/fund-raising-challenge-vet-lyme-disease
Dena, Greg, Margot and Phee also must get a mention as for the second year in a row they let us hang out with them while we visited my Dr. This saved us a fortune in hotel bills but most importantly gave us the chance to spend some quality time in their family. Love you all.
Huge thanks also need to be sent out to Pam and Terry, Angela and Tom, Kath, both my family and Nic's family for all their love and support - financial and practical!
To every single one of you who has helped me over the last 4 years - I am so incredibly thankful.
I am loving the improvements I am making and really excited about the future. Watch this space xxx
