A thank you...

So, as you'll probably know if you're reading this, yesterday I took part in a sponsored bungee jump in aid of Sense Scotland. I used Twitter a lot to promote the cause and encourage people to donate, but frankly I was astonished at the success of my fundraising campaign. In total (so far!) I've raised £576.34 and much of that has been from folk on Twitter, folk I don't know but who clearly have hearts of gold.

People keep saying "oh, well done, you should be proud of what you've raised". Well, these comments are nice and all, but frankly I've not achieved anything, really. All I did was post a fundraising link and jump off a bridge. The people who should really be proud are the folk that donated whatever they had spare to a fantastic charity who will do great things with it.

So, I just wanted to write this blog to say thanks very much to everyone who sponsored, or to those who couldn't sponsor but helped in other ways, like tweeting, promoting it, RTing my links and most of all, to everyone who sent me encouraging comments when I was frankly shiteing it! You've all been fantastic.
