I have just got in after a lovely night with Helen and our friends.  Unbeknown to me, Helen had asked our friends and parents to provide photos and messages so that she could make a giant good luck card!  It was full of photos of all my favourite people and inside were some truly heartwarming messages!  Chris had also written a fantastic poem for me and framed it!  I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends!

I also had another surprise this afternoon.  OTR had made me a good luck video!  It was completely unexpected which made it all the more special and I am so grateful to them for taking the time and effort to put it together!

I am going away feeling very loved and supported and as a result of this, more motivated than ever to succeed in my Everest marathon challenge!  I know it’s going to be incredibly tough, particularly leaving all my loved ones behind, but I am going to come back stronger than ever!

Now, I must get my beauty sleep before my big day tomorrow!

Good night!
