Weird thing this fund raising. I stayed at the Heathrow Travelodge last night and by the time I checked in they were towards the end of a MacMillan Cancer Charity fund raising day. The hotel is huge by Travelodge standards; there were posters everywhere, donation buckets, buy a pancake tables and staff all wearing MacMillan tee shirts. I had two drinks at the bar and put my change in the bucket on the bar both times. The second time I did it I asked how the fund raising had gone.
"About eighty pounds."
£80? More than four quid of that I'd put in. What is up with people?
All day and they'd raised £80?
Jeez. That sounds like hard work. As it goes I contribute to MacMillan monthly but I'll chip in a bit more this month.

My wife swam / swum? a mile of the Thames last year for charity.
It was an organised event, which is done every year.
She had to have a range of injections for various diseases,she also had to wear a wet suit and hat.
She was not allowed to do it unless she complied with these rules.
I would have a word with your doctor, if you plan on swimming the Tay

Dicky - I raised more than that standing with a tin for the Marie Curie Daffodil appeal on Saturday!

yes, we're investigating all of that at the momentLooks more & more likely that I'm going to loose my hair!
Thank you for all your help, the decision is made, it will be a head shave after my hair is cut off, on the anniversary of Mum's death in November.
Unfortunately my swimming coach doesn't think I'll be able to regain my levels of fitness to attempt any major challenge in suitable weather this year - which is a shame, but my own fault & gives me a goal for next year
My JustGiving page (linked on the OP) has been updated & I'm at 10% of my target already
Pledges to colour my shaved head will be accepted & carried out

Yes - BUT it will have to be a short mohican after the shave & some of it has grown back.
As I've already been sponsored £100's to shave it all off
