Week 1 Progress

https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/hannahinrwanda

I've made a good start to the challenge this week by making (and exceeding) each daily target.

It's been very cold walking to and from work and hasn't been particularly pleasant in the dark but it will be well worth it.

Today, after seeing friends in Exeter, I went for a beautiful, blustery walk along the River Exe and Exeter Canal to get my distance up a bit more. I made my daily target along that walk, before lunchtime! It was bracing but felt great to be out there.

Flyer Design

Today I had a meeting to discuss other fundraising options which I'm really excited to get started on. One of the first was communicating to those who don't have internet so I've designed this flyer. Please let me know what you think.

Technical Test

My sister very kindly gave me a "technical t-shirt" for Christmas. It said it was great in humid conditions so today I tested it at the Eden project.  It was very comfy and not too warm so will be perfect in Rwanda.

I also met today's walking target.

All in all, a pretty good start.

£2,500 is the total cost of the trip!

This morning, I have set up a fundraising page with BT Donate. https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/hannahinrwanda

The total here is for £995. This covers the program costs and administration fees so essentially is what LRTT need to be able to successfully run the program. Any donations here go direct to Inspiring Futures / LRTT to pay towards this.

I also need to raise the money for the flights which are currently showing at between £700 and £1100 depending on which route I take and how many transfers I make. So the actual total for the trip is going to be around £2500. 

I am in the process of opening a separate bank account and anyone wishing to donate money for flights will be able to do so by transfer to this account.

Better get walking!
