    32 minutes.... :D Which to be fair I was totally shocked at. At the 4km mark I was set to do it in under 30 but it all went a bit pear shaped with me nearly breaking down and hitting a huge wall... I had to walk about 4 times in 4-5km alone...
    But still... I did it. Very very very pleased. :)

    Sar,

    Way I see it - is Sarah has her attitude thanks to her mum's good work, that's why she's working her bum off making a better life for her little family. If you gave more than you could afford whilst in debt yourself you'd be undermining her and her mum's principles and a small donation when you have a low income, debts and have had the expense of starting over has cost you a lot more than most so was *more* generous as you have to watch and feel the small amounts. Besides lots of small amounts is what cancer research needs becuase they add up.

    Thank you BB.
    I wish I had you around speaking words of wisdom all the time. (anyone else want to break into 'Let it Be' by the Beatles?)
