Le Jog

Regular readers will remember the sponsored drive from Land's End to John O'Groats without refuelling.

We raised an amazing £1,263.68. The Bristol Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and the Bristol Children's Cardiac Ward are both very grateful. I particularly like the thought of two nurses going to the BMT European Conference in Prague on the proceeds. I hope they also get off their heads on cheap lager and get f***ed senseless by some Bouncing Czech.

When I examine my own motives for doing it, raising money for good causes is pretty low on the list. They are, in order:

1. Because I love driving places, watching the world go by, the changing scenery
   
2. Because my friend Dave died and I wanted his friends to realise what we thought of him
   
3. Because I wanted to see if a clapped out 100,000 mile Renault Espace could be so frugal
   
4. Because of a personal reason I won't go into here
   
5. Because I wanted to go to see the Strathy House Hotel again
   
6. Because I wanted to raise money for a good cause
   

Thanks to everyone anyway.
