A bike ride leads to a job

Well not quite as misleading as the title of the blog suggests, I still had to put a lot of graft in and wow the interviewers with my skills, but last week I was offered a job working as a fund-raiser for the new Zoe's Place hospice opening in Coventry! Who'd have thought when we started this it would lead to a job and a whole change of a life eh?! After talking tirelessly about the bike ride, I think the interviewers liked the insanity flavoured milkshake I was bringing to the yard! I signed up for a house this week and will be moving down at the end of May to start the job in June.

Right personal glories aside its time to fill you in on this weeks activities. After roping in Dazlar and Emily last week for the bike ride and support team, we've allocated jobs for the next couple of weeks. We're going to be getting in touch with supermarkets such as Morrisons, Asda and Tesco to see if we can get an food parcels; Emily has been kind enough to map the topography of the bike ride which has opened our eyes to the enormity of this challenge; Elaine is tapping up Lucazade to see if they can offer any freebies or vouchers for all the energy drinks we will plough through; Hairy Rich has put together the sickest training plan I've ever set my eyes on and the less sensible amongst us have set about getting in touch with the likes of John Parr, Tony Christy, Brian Blessed, Jeremy Clarkson, Ian Beale (obviously Adam Woodyatt - bit of a team in joke there), Katie Price, Russell Howard and of course Ant and Dec for fundraising and to try and get them involved in the bike ride.

Not sure how much more there is to fill you in on for the time being but be sure to keep coming back and checking what we're getting up to. Thanks again to everyone who has donated this week, we've managed to reach 10% Now...lets see if we can make it to 15% by next week?!?
