Thank you to our Sponsors, but Don't Stop Now!

Last night we made the £1000 target we set for our selves. Hurrah! This does not mean the fundraising is over by a long way, just that people have been more generous than we imagined so please if you feel inclined, don't be shy. Donate! No amount is too small and it all goes straight to the Alzheimer's Society.

We were only £11 short last night so I asked if anyone on Twitter would like to push us over and SynapticJam stepped up to the plate. Thankyou!

Below are our kind donors online so far:

Sorry If I missed anyone but this will be updated as more folk donate. :-)

More Podcast plugging

PG Holyfield creator of the fantastic Murder At Avedon Hill podcast has said he will give us a plug in the latest episode due to drop on 23rd April or there abouts. If you haven't tried Murder At Avedon Hill I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a Murder Mystery set in the fantasy world of Caern. There are vampires, moonbeasts and allsorts thrown into the mix. The podcast is beautifully crafted with a fantastic cast of voice actors and music from Shira Kammen to give it a truly classy feel. You can find out more here.

I would also like to thank Chris Lester of the Metamor City podcast for giving us further pluggage in his last episode. Thanks Chris that was very kind of you. I wax lyrical about Metamor City here

Metamor City Mention!

I was super excited to see the latest episode of Chris Lester's Metamor City podcast downloading this morning. My excitement shot up a notch further when I realised Chris had given us a plug! If you are not familiar with it The Metamor City Podcast is a sci-fi/fantasy audio fiction series that is distributed for free through Chris's website. It features a mixture of short stories and full-length novels, all taking place in one large world with an overarching story arc. Combining the narration of audiobooks with the music, sound effects and full vocal cast of a serial radio drama, The Metamor City Podcast provides an immersive audio experience of a world like no other.

If you have found us through Metamor City, we are two psychiatric nurses who have both been touched in different ways by Alzheimer's. We are cycling the length of the British Isles to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society and awareness of this cruel disease. We are doing this over 9 days now, after initially planning to do it in 7. We also now have health service manager Steve joining us for the ride and Stephen, a web guru and MRI expert, joining us for some of Scotland.

Donations can be made through our Just Giving site which is linked to on the right, or if you prefer, through the paypal donate button. If you are unable to donate, any comments on the blog or plugs on other blogs would be very much appreciated. Until then, keep it on the bright side!
