...I'm going to be cheeky and ask for the money now...asap .
Although, I should be totally honest and say that because I'm fucking unfit and everyone else was storming off ahead of me, I actually only made it 1/3 of the way up the mountain before thinking I was going to die, throw up, faint, or some combination of the three. Possibly a panic attack, too. Started crying and I couldn't breathe right and shit. So I will appreciate that you may not want to give me the money. (To be fair though, it's meant to be about the little kiddies, and 1/3 of a mountain is *quite* good, and we WERE doing the hardest path).
PM me if you want detailage as to where to send cheques etc. to, and bank details if necessary.
Love to all

You can still do it if you want ;p
And yes I did. Or didn't, actually.
*PMs you*
I hope you learn from this and, if you decide to take on anything like this in the future, actually train for it so that you know you can do it.
Meanwhile I think people who were considering sponsoring you wouldn't go far wrong just sending their money to your allocated charity direct.
My friend at work is doing a hill-walking challenge this weekend, and has got a fair amount of sponsorship for it. She says that if she doesn't complete it she'll pay back any money that's been contributed and pay the charity herself, which I think is fair dos.
If they don't want to give me the money, they don't have to, which I did say in the original post. And if the people that have already given me the money want me to send it back to them, I'll be happy to do it.
Please don't patronise me, because I know I did shit, and I know I need to do training for the walk I'm doing in Peru. I just thought I would ask if people were still willing to give me the money, as it is for a very good cause.
Hmm Ok. I ain't patronising anyone though, just saying what I think about these things.
