    Hi HiddenShadow,

    Could I please set a target of £4000 again for 2018?

    I was No 54 this year - if I could have the same number, that would be great.

    Thanks

    Ooh yes please, thanks for running this again, I'd love to join for 2018. My number from 2017 is #90.

    I'll set an initial target of £6,000, being conservative as there are a few uncertainties / other financial commitments as I look ahead to 2018.

    Thanks very much, and best of luck to all!
    2021 MFW #130. Target: £300/£2500
