2010

Guess what?!?!
I am going again! Two weeks tomorrow I will once more be jetting off with Chennai Challenge as part of team B. Team A fly out this coming Tuesday, exciting stuff! I can't wait, I have been ridiculously excited since January :)
This year things are a little different. There are 23 of us overall (!), ten on team A ten on team B and then Cathy, Rob and Isaac who are there for the whole time. A few days after my team fly out we are all taking the boys away for some fun in Yellegiri, should be awesomeness!
I think I am just about sorted with everything, I have shopped lots in Boots and Primark. I decided this year that I was old enough to buy my own first aid kit and I am quite glad that I did as just a few days later I had to use it due to silly accidents involving stairs and hot tea!
I managed to raise my money uber quickly this year, thanks mostly to a very generous stranger who happened to be at Church the one week that I was doing a presentation. We did another sponsored swim as well, pushing ourselves to 5106 metres (3.2 miles)!
Our training weekends have been amazing fun. We have learned how to balloon model, face paint, spin poi, make scooby doos, teach games without the use of English, count and sing in Tamil, run round London in the pouring rain and highly unsuitable shoes, go to know everybody a little bit better and practiced eating curry the proper way.
So now I just have to get down from Aberdeen to Heathrow, via Tring and Godalming! Not long now :)
