I took part in the Ahmadiyya charity walk on Sunday 29th June - the walk attracted around 4,000 people and given this year's special significance for me i uped the ante on the collections and people contributed very generously [thank you everyone!]
JustGiving was the website i used to raise the sponsorship and id usually spam out the link to everyone i know - but this time i had to be a little bit more careful.
There are still people who have no idea about my diagnosis and treatment and return to work over the past few months. Even when i sent the link out selectively there were still some who found out for the first time via the link - not too nice - but at least they were able to do something positive after hearing and contribute to the cause.
The walk itself went very well - it was of course tiring but my recovery was pretty good afterwards and if anything it helped give me more energy and encourage me to get back in to some proper sports / exercise! With an amazing wimbledon final having just taken place on the weekend i think it will have to be tennis again - hopefully i'll be coming to a court near you soon!
here's my just giving link:
