Just in case anyone doesn't like online payments. Here is a link to the papyrus fundraising page which holds their bank account info.
I am getting ready mentally for this as well as physically, some days i can't believe what I'm doing and then others I'm proud of my progress.

Full of admiration and such a sad cause.

Just in case anyone didn't hear.....I did it.
Thank you everyone for being so generous. I am blessed...

Well done you! 13 miles on the 13th of Sep, "13" should be your lucky number this year!

Nice one @carieoates, well done
I'm off to shake a bucket .... a friend has organised a sing a long for Syrian refugees by our local town hall.

That's so awesome! Well done!

How did it feel as you ran along Caro @carieoates? Does it feel like its taking a long time to get there or does the time go quickly? How was the weather? Was the long journey home very tiring and did you stay in Newcastle overnight? X
Very very well Done - great achievement and such a good cause..how very sad for yr friend to lose her boy that way.

Lots of questions Candy.
It went fast now that I look back, but at the time I was looking at the mile and km markers, then the red arrows went over then I saw my family at mile 11. Unfortunately I was passed by the ambulances and paramedics going to the poor man who died.
I was driven home by the hubby and went to work the next morning as usual, I was welcomed like a hero. I was knocked out by the generosity of everyone.

Well done Oatesy! What an achievement! You must be feeling very proud of yourself and it must have meant the world to your poor friend.
So? What's next?

Congratulations on your success, @carieoates, both in completing your run and in raising such a magnificent amount! Then to go into work the next day - words fail me!
