An Early Xmas Present

Liz EE

Lucky, lucky me - I was rejected in the VLM 2011 ballot and managed to secure a Golden Bond place with the British Heart Foundation - I had absolutely no idea how on earth I was going to raise £2000 with my work and family commitments........

Anyway, to cut a long story short, my name was pulled from the hat at our running club Xmas run on Sunday.  The club had 2 VLM places and I have got one of them!!!!!!

 I am so, so happy.  I'm still going to run for BHF and raise as much money as poss but the pressure is off slightly.  Just the training to concentrate on now.

Why not let someone else at the club take the place and you keep the GB place then both of you raise the 2K ?

Hi there, yes also got a club place, it was such a surprise to be picked for one of the two places our club got.  After the disapointment of not getting a ballot place and knew there was no way I could raise the money wanted for a bond place I am over the moon.  I am more than happy to raise some money for a charity, but not a fixed amount.

 Good luck to all of you.
