sundaygirl Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Can everyone keep fingers and paws crossed for dry (ish) weather on Saturday. My 13 year old son is doing a sponsored walk for the OC through the local woods The plan is for him to walk the 3 woodland trails and it will take him around 3 hours in total and he is really looking forward to it. As we dont have a big family (and i wont let him go round doors collecting sponsorship) this was never going to raise a fortune, but as it was all his own idea i wanted to encourage him....he was hoping to raise about £50 in whiskey's memory but its looking like it will be around the £70 mark and he is chuffed to bits... So can you join one very proud Mum in praying that the blizzards are over so he does not return looking like a snowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundaygirl Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well he did it , but no amount of wishing for good weather stopped us from having a heavy snow fall this week, which luckily did stay off today... With the £5 each pledged on this thread from Amy and Fiona (thanks ladies ) he has managed to raise £104...which will be posted to OC as soon as the money is all collected along with the forms He is thrilled with the money he raised and i think he has every right to be. Just a couple of pics of Ryan on the walk itself and i couldnt resist one of Gem showing exactly why she is a "Springer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
