Coaches are Gods!

Posted by
So I just got back from my 50 hour Escape and Evade Challenge.
Result: We made it to Glasgow :D
Raised: £525 for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Considering that we hadn't made any ground on acquiring plane or travel reservations, and were basically going into this blind and with nothing, I am quite proud. We also go back to discover that 2 groups of the 6 participating had dropped out, and that one isn't making back in time - after having one too many in Amsterdam.

Milage wise- google has told me that it was 996 miles in total. So fingers crossed we come out the winners, because that would be amazing. We have slept in Victoria Coach station and on various buses/coaches, and eaten in random places and been cold most of the time.

Thanks to Longleys taxi's, Megabus Coaches, and Greyhound Buses UK, for getting us to these places- and thanks for nothing to most airlines, train lines, and national express!
Can't believe we did it.


Yay team Charity Skywalkers!

Love and Peace x

Who do you think you are?

So that charity thing I am participating in isn't going as well as we would have liked. Many airlines have shot us down, which is understandable. I mean they can't help every group of students trying to raise money by getting as far away from their universities and back in 50 hours. 

So far we have managed to raise £357 pounds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Which hopefully will be  enough to do something with, including the money that other groups have gotten them. 

It's sad that so many people on facebook who you would expect to take 5 minutes to donate £10 of money they have enough of to go towards a good cause. Or if anything just to help out a friend or old friend who is helping out charity. It really shows what kind of people are surrounding you when people you haven't spoken to in years donate to the cause. 

Have a good think about that world
And donate if you can to http://www.justgiving.com/charityskywalkers

Love and Peace.

Escape and Evade

Posted by
Mission: To get as far away from Kent Uni as possible and back in 50 Hours. 
Date: February 24th 2012
Team: Matthew Smith, Andrina Wolff, Catherine Keehan... maybe more. 
Cause: Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

Mission Prep: Finding anyone who is a pilot or lives far away or a famous person who is willing to get us on a flight to somewhere far away- hopefully Asia, Australia, New Zealand, or South America. 
In the mean time we must also try to raise £500 for the hospital in cahoots with the RaG (raise and give) society.
