I originally started of as a get together for friends and family last year and it was a really good night.

After reading about Courtney I have decided this is definitely a good cause.

Samantha Allen, Lindsey Bush and Natasha Andrews.
An alcoholic drink at every stop, 27 of them in fancy dress (powerpuff girls). 
sponsor per drink or per completion.
start at Liverpool street 11am and work our way round.

Well we did it.  piece of cake!
We started off at Liverpool Street, 11 am for our first drink and a bit of a history lesson in Dirty Dicks. 
Then we made our journey around London being join by Sasha Bowles, Rachel Udall and a girl called Ray. 
27 drinks each were consumed but that wasn't the hard part. 
Finding a pub was fine but finding one open was tricky then we are walking to the station waiting for the train and then walking out again. 
Bums, thighs and calves were hurting.
12 hours later we arrive back at our starting point for last orders. 
It was fun but a real challenge. We were merry but not drunk so no pics of being sick or falling over im afraid.
We are all really please we achieved this for Courtney. 
There is photo evidence and a list of all the pubs/bars that we went into with the bartenders signature attached. Click here 
We have managed to raise just over a whooping £3100.00 so a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has supported us and the appeal.
Speak to you soon
Samantha, Lindsey and Natasha.

As the weather kept nice it was a pleasant long walk to Romford,

 
 
MORE FUN PHOTOS & VIDEO CAN BE SEEN HERE
and Dagenham Post here
On the downside their were some big brother issues which will be followed up on
where some jobs worth's "security" men were chasing some walkers from the shopping area
even wanting to call the police and even man handling some walkers.
this big brother attitude even went as far as waiting to stop my parents
who were not involved in this event but were innocent bystanders asking how it was going.
They were told that that area is private property and as such something's were not allowed.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ROMFORD IS PRIVATE PROPERTY?
it transpires that you have the Brewery, Liberty and the mall different companies for different areas.
After contacting the relevant departments involved in the incidents
we now know that any future events would have to have the consent of the relevant private company who runs the part of the Romford complex
Which of course we will do.
Any way on a pleasent note the walk raised a nice amount which took a while to count.

SPECIAL MENTION
15th January 2009
What a fantastic, generous surprise we had when a letter arrived with a
VERY substantial cheque amount was delivered to us.
Ann & Michael from Chadwell Heath, Romford Essex.
(without going into details which we think should remain personal to the family.)
During 2007/8 Michael 57yrs old was diagnosed with a very serious illness
It was decided that to help with his ongoing treatment funding events were planned to raise funds.
So with the help and support from his wife Ann his family, friends and colleagues from work.
Events were planned like sponsored walks which raised several thousand pounds.
Also with donations from Robin Van Percy.
Unfortunately time had caught up with Michael and after having to endure extensive and painful treatment
he sadly crossed over on 9th June 2008 before the donations could be put to full use.
He always said "that if i didn't need the money I would like to help someone else who needed it just as much as me".
With his kindness and with his wife Ann's permission
and with the agreement of all the friends and colleagues at Thames Water who all helped in this donation.
You can rest assured that this substantial donation has been paid into
Courtneys Account IN MEMORY TO MICHAEL so as to help in her ongoing treatment and well being
Please keep up with Courtneys progress and of course come to any events that we are planning.

Ann & Michael
On behalf of Courtney and her Family
A BIG THANK YOU VERY MUCH
