The Stride for Life event in aid of Cancer Research was a real success, and I now have my final total (Just waiting for a couple of payments before handing over). I was aiming for at least £50, and so I am really pleased to say that people have been very generous sponsoring me. I have now managed to raise a total of £136.30.
Many thanks to everyone who has kindly sponsored me. I'm still chuffed to have been the 1st walker over the finish line :)
I walked the route again this afternoon (somewhat more leisurely I might add!). I wanted to try and clear up the distance confusion issue. I took my handheld GPS that I used to use on my boat, and is accurate to within 4 metres. The total distance for the 5km course is exactly 5.3km. So that's sorted now. My phone must've been misbehaving a lot on Sunday!
