Emma and Laura's Great Wall Walk - Progress Update!

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:20:40+0100

Udate on 20 March. How we have walked! We've 'slide-walked' over ice, climbed and clambered over really old and crumbly parts of the Wall and now zip-wired over a lake and very high up! No one can say we've not earned every penny of our sponsor money...

April 16th - We're in China!!!

Yes we're really here and we love China. We're all fired up and ready for THE WALL! There's still time to sponsor us and to pass our sponsor details to your friends. We've very nearly raised our target to 20,000 - hooray.

China here we come ... yikes!

You may well question what training we've been doing to prepare us for the Great Wall adventure on 15 March and we can honestly say we're well under way with our preparations. Both of us have splashed a load of (our own!) cash on flash walking gear ...

As China fast approaches and we're wearing in those wlaking boots, we can't help but think back to the gliz and glammour of last year's ball. So once again, here's the photos to help us remember. And to those of you who have joined the facebook gro...

Oh What a Night!

Well, we can't quite believe it's all over. The ball was a definite success. Such a glitzy affair and so much money raised for Breast Cancer Campaign. Our initial count estimates we have raised £12,500.00 (thank you David H for counting all the ca...
