I am actually shitting bricks.
Shep is doing a charity motorbike ride this weekend....John O` Groats to Lands End. 887 fooking miles. He finishes work tomorrow at lunchtime, will come home for food and to get kitted up, then at around 3 is setting off with his co-riders, heading up to Dumbarton, where they will stay the night, then Sunday morning up to John O`Groats, again, staying the night, then on Monday morning at stupid o`clock they will head back down, all the way down, to Lands End. Then Tuesday he`ll head back home, hopefully arriving back here by late afternoon-ish.
The run is all in aid of research into Xeroderma Pigmentosum which affects two of my friends` children..it`s basically an allergy to sunlight and uv rays...so the boys are hoping to raise funds, and awareness into the effects of XP! Shep has managed to raise over £800 so far in sponsorship, hopefully he`ll be ok and get back to us safely!! I, meanwhile, shall be sitting here, biting my nails and waiting for phonecalls!!!

If you would just like to paypal me, I`ll write you on the sponsor form (I promise to put the money in, honest!!) and I`ll send you a scan of the form. As you work too, I can tick the GiftAid box, and XP can get even more!!
Thank you darling, you`re amazing!
