Well despite poor weather predictions yesterday (9th May) on time and on target we stood on the peak of Helvellyn in bright sunshine and let off over a dozen OCA balloons. Thank you so much everyone for the fabulous support and especially to Dennis, Mark, Lucas & Aidan who were great company all the way to the top & down again.

With only a few days left, all fingers & toes are crossed for fair weather. Whilst at the top we hope to inflate & let off the balloons sent to us by OCA. The OCA teal t-shirts have arrived as have the pink rosebuds we will wear in memory of Aleasha. You've got to be a "real man" to get away with wearing this combination !! Anyone interested in joining us will be most welcome. Currently definites we have are: Dennis Knight Aidan Ellison Mark Cardwell Lucas Cardwell and myself. Please keep the money rolling in as we're closing in on the £1K target rapidly

With four weeks to go, things are beginning to take shape: Tents are being prepared Campsite booked - our base camp is Sykeside at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass I'm doing my best to make sure I'll keep up, regularly going to the gymn and riding my bike around Over Wyre. OCA T-shirts are on their way - so we'll all look the part. And the best news is that we've just gone through the £500 sponsorship milestone. Please keep giving to this deserving charity that funds research and promotes awareness of this terrible disease.
