What a great day!

This morning, Paula (Transform Charity Co-ord) and I set up a charity pitch at the Andover Gardeners Market on the High Street.  The plan was to raise awareness of my fundraising efforts and kick start the goal of reaching the target of raising £1,000 for Testway Transform.

At 10am I set about beginning a training ride on a static bike trainer to grab peoples attention and provide me with an opportunity to get some training in.  The intention was to do about 3 hours of pedalling, but in the end it went on for 5 hours covering a distance of 85 miles!  All the while the generous people of Andover kept filling our buckets with loose change and the odd paper note.  The sun was shining all day so plenty of people were out and about soaking up the beautiful weather.

As a result of our efforts we managed to raise £275.25 over the 5 hours.  A terrific effort and one which has definitely got the fundraising off to a flying start.
