An update/bump

I'm nearly there, should arrive by Saturday.

I came across a hotel in St Ives I've seen for ages that looks amazing, £1k a night minimum in summer, has its own private beach etc and hosted the G7 summit with world leaders in June. Seen a last minute offer for £300 for tonight, so I booked it.

Got to hotel absolutely soaking wet and early for check in. Got talking to receptionist checking me in and she recognised the Sunderland accent, she worked in Atheneum Street occasionally for Halifax Bank. Anyway whilst waiting in restaurant passing time, she came to the table with a manager lady and said your hotel is free tonight! Also they are going to donate £300 to cancer research.
Blown away she came back after my meal to take me to room and said she's upgraded me to executive suite.

It's insanely amazing, I'm probably sleeping in Joe Bidens room from June 😂

I'd wager that Angela Merkel was in that bed a few months back.

Get it named and return the goodwill. 50% of the lads on here won't entertain a room costing less than a monkey so a grand won't be too big a stretch.

I work as an online nutritionist/PT, and unfortunately one of my dearest clients/friend passed away at the beginning of the month. A lovely lady who had an accident 20 years ago which left her in severe pain and not able to walk much at all. She could barely do 1k steps, but after working with her for just short of two years, she was getting to 6k+ steps a day and lost a lot of weight, was so proud of her. She lived in Grimsby and for nearly 2 years I was messaging her each day to support her being active, but also as a friend putting the world to rights. I would regularly receive bathbombs and squeezy avocado stress relievers from her in the post :lol:. She was also an accountant, she helped me with advice and also was accountant to an ex prime minister (I will not say who).

Anyway within about 6 weeks of her messaging me saying she found a lump on her breast, she was given end of life care and then sadly passing away.

Cancer has taken many of our loved ones, this is just one story above, but I am sure you can recall how it has effected you or your family.

I want to do something that can hopefully raise as much money as possible so our loved ones or our future generations do not keep going through the heartbreak we go through.

Just thought I would share my page and understand if mods delete

Also if anyone is on my route and wants a pint, give me a shout 😂👍
