So I’ve been training hard for the Bridge to Brisbane. I’m doing pushups to get some upper body strength. This will allow me to push people out of the way and to support myself when I get to the end and need to lean on something.
However I’m also walking whenever I can. I fit in a bit here and there on the way and back home from work. I’ve also done a couple of walks around the area during my week off work last week.
All in all, it’s all going gangbusters and I’m looking forward to doing the actual walk at the end of August. Don’t forget to dig deep and give! Every dollar helps.
We interrupt your scheduled programming to bring a breaking news story.
This year I’ve decided to enter the 2009 Bridge to Brisbane. I’ll be walking 10km on August 31 30 (thanks, Natalie!) with a team of people to get some fresh air and exercise. I’m really looking forward to it.
I’ve decided that to make it something extra special, I’m going to try and raise some money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. My wife, Natalie, is a Type 1 diabetic and I see each and every day how this affects her. It’s the time it takes to monitor her sugar levels, the sugar lows and highs (both can be dangerous) and anything I can do to help raise funding to assist in the fight against this I will do. Almost anything. If you are serious and have enough cash, ask – you never know.
If you visit this fundraising page you not will be helping me, you’ll be helping my wife and others like her. So if any of my blog posts have ever spoken to you, or if you just want to help a good cause and feel warm and fuzzy for a moment, please give whatever you can.
I have decided to aim for Target 1000 – $1000.00 from you, me and others will help the foundation fund research into cures and treatments for this disease. I’ll be bringing you regular updates on my training progress between now and August 30, with regular reminders of the fundraising drive. I’ll also bring you how we are progressing towards Target 1000.
