Overdue update on fundraising

Thank you all very much for sponsoring my cycle ride. Apologies for taking so long to update you all and say thank you for your support. I had a good excuse for the first few months (waiting for gift aid and credit card charge conformations etc) but it has now been a very long time, so sorry for that. The final total of money actually usable by the charities is... [drum roll]

£3019

This is freakishly close to the original target of 3k, so either it was a well chosen target, or else I should I have set the target higher to keep the money flooding in. The charities that are to benefit from this money in equal portions are Link Community Development (www.lcd.org.uk) and World Land Trust (www.worldlandtrust.org).

That journey seems a long time ago now, the next step will be the drive back to the UK. Kathy and I have just bought a Land Rover - we will be leaving Malawi in September and hope to arrive back in the UK for Christmas this year - I'll be posting updates here soon.

Once again thanks for your support, and apologies for the time delay in getting this information out.
