What a week. Thomas arrived, the girls are here, and the jump is now 2 sleeps away. Harry has done another round of chemo and finished treatment 14 (well nearly!)He has done really well and had less sickness drugs than normal. Maybe it has been the constant stream of visitors that has taken his mind off things.
We have been very productive this week and the fundraising total is now over $50,000.
We have been door knocking along Wichmann Road, which was an experience in itself. Pommy Deb came over with Sienna and Jack and off we went. They say only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the mid-day sun, well this is definitely true here. 2 mad mothers, one child in a wheelchair, 2 on scooters and one on a bike she can hardly ride. We got to three houses and the kids had filled up their water bottles 3 times, but we did raise $300 dollars and sold a couple of bottles and key rings.
The nurses have been very supportive on the ward and bought the stainless steel water bottles, t-shirts and bottle opener key rings. We also went to some of the other wards who purchased our goods today.
I really am not sure how I am feeling about this jump. It seems a bit unreal and I really can't imagine falling out of a plane from 14,000 feet and just hope that I have the courage to do it on the day. Then again I think there would be 29 people right behind me waiting to push me out!!
Thanks to everyone who has donated and purchased our fundraising bottles and bottle openers. Lets hope it is a weekend full of fun and laughs, and a celebration of life.
PS Sorry to Romina as you don't like the orange t-shirts, but promise that when you join the jump next time you can pick the colours!! Did I say next time???????????????????
