A big thank you to all those Tringalings who supported me in raising money for Comic Relief.
With the amount on my Just Giving page (including gift aid) and the cash I collected on the day “joggling” up and down Tring High street the total exceeded
£1200
Below is a link to a video someone took of me joggling past their shop
Below is my diary leading up to the day.

08:57 I would usually go for a training joggle on a Wednesday and despite the beautiful sunshine I feel it would be best to save my energy for Friday ! when I will be joggling up and down Tring High Street throughout the day to raise funds for Red Nose Day. No contribution is too small.

Thursday: Decided not to do any skipping/jump rope – didn’t want to injure myself ! This evening a last minute panic – couldn’t find a red nose. Fortunately our next door neighbour came to my rescue, Thank you Cara.

Friday 09:12 I have just finished my breakfast (fuel for today) prior to setting out around 09:45, when, Sid I saw your donation. Wow, wow and wow. Thank you so much, and indeed to everyone who has made a donation. Even though the weather isn’t as good as yesterday and the windy conditions will make it difficult juggling the clubs, you have all given me great inspiration. By way the red nose doesn’t hurt (phew) and looks great, once again THANK YOU CARA.

The amazingly good people of Tring (Tringonions ?, Tringites ?) supported this cause in a quite spectacular fashion. At 17:43 on Friday Evening The Just Giving page shows a total of £365. During the day I have collected £351.42 in cash making a total of £716.42 raised for Comic Relief. I have just made a donation of £351.42 to my Just Giving page and have decided to keep my page open for another week. THANK YOU THE PEOPLE OF TRING FOR YOUR GENEROSITY IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET AND CHAT WITH YOU

Awoke this morning at 07:30, feeling a little tired after yesterdays joggling. Decided to turn over and have a little nap before getting up. Woke up 11:30 !!!!!!!! Have just checked justgiving.com – joggler amount is now £882 THANK YOU ALL TRINGALINGS
One of the biggest and my favourite donation was from a client of Lynn’s for whom she does Doggy Day Care for.
If, when he arrives in the morning and I am still in bed, the first thing he does is come up to see me. Throughout the day he just follows me everywhere, and whilst he allows our two dogs (Toby a eight year old King Charles Spaniel and Remy a two year old Cocker Spaniel – who is quite bonkers) to be in close company with me, woe betide any of the other guest dogs that to get too close!
Even, Pedro a Spanish Greyhound (a rescue dog abandoned after having outlived his usefulness as a hunting dog) five times his size is cautious!
