Happy Easter Perth

Happy Easter everyone

Only 19 days to go until the big event.  How are your preparations coming along?  Easter is a slight hiccup along the way isn't it?  Training will be a little harder with those eggs rattling around.  What strategies do you have to keep on track??  I could use some of them myself! 

I have taken some leave to be with Nicholas during the school holidays and am therefore looking forward to getting out and about and preparing for our teams participation in the 4km course in the MDC.  I am anticipating a few bike rides to exercise some different muscles, dragon boating will continue and of course there will be many opportunities to go for extended walks.  Nicholas is probably thinking he is going to have a nice relaxing holiday!!  Look out for our team at the event...we will be the ones with the badges saying 'Wii Not Fit'.  I always get a giggle out of the name but find myself explaining it often...am I the only one amused?

How is the fundraising going?  Can I just say...I was more than pleasantly surprised about the Easter egg raffle my team and I conducted at work.  The allure of chocolate is much stronger than I gave it credit for.  Within three days of advertising the raffle and the 'guess how many eggs in the jar' competition, we had raised $100.  We will be announcing the winner tomorrow and I can't wait to reward some lucky punter with a basket full of Easter goodies and a box of truffles.  OK...so I guess if they are in training for the MDC, it might not be such a good idea and may have to be handed over with the condition that they don't eat it all themselves!!  All jokes aside though I was amazed at how generous and eager my colleagues were to support the raffle and ultimately the Mothers Day Classic and NBCF.  Our final amount will be tallied tomorrow morning!  We have some more ideas up our sleeve, so hopefully we can raise some more money before the event. 

What fundraising ideas have you had that worked well??  Would love to hear from you ...

That's it for me today...more to come later in the week!

  1. Wii Not Fit is simply French for "yes you do not have to be able to run a marathon to participate in the walk on the day" is it not?
