    Lenny - I did the Moonwalk with Mrs W_Y for 4 years running, so I have 4 years experience including Bra decorating! First year was the night before the Cardiff play-off final and it was a Watford Bra!

    Your humbleness is accepted - I do have photos, but they are limited to my sponsors - I promised not to publish them as long as they sponsored me!:redface:

    This is really a good cause that is very close to Mrs W_Y and a bit of pride hiding was a small price to pay to raise funds for this cause....we raised over £10K in those 4 years :biggrin:

    In any case, being surrounded by 1000's of ladies wearing decorated Bra's?....:bandit:

    I'm not a big fan of the One Show - he says quickly :) - but just seen an article on it about Eddy Kidd. If you remember he was the daredevil stunt motorcyclist who used to jump loads of buses,the Great Wall of China etc. Apparently he had an accident back in 1996 resulting in him being very disabled - I think they said he is paralysed on his left side. He is now doing the London Marathon though - using a zimmerframe - and has so far completed about 7 miles one step at a time. Great courage - and again raising thousands for a Children's Charity

    Lenny - Totally inspiring to see people do that. Michael Watson, the ex-boxer took 6 days to complete the marathon...true heroes

    That shows utter dedication and selflessness also brings a tear to the eye to witness that sort of heroics

    See, now how can i complain about pain with stories like that to inspire! :)

    The bra is done, just need a little something from the Hornet shop to complete it, and i must say, they look darn good ;)...now all we have to do is walk 26 miles lol.

    i found out today that the friends i'm doing it with already walked 20 this week, so i'm now a little behind (i wish i had one of those btw lol)...but i'm not bothered, coz we'll all be walking 26.2 for the first time in a few weeks time! :)

    Hornette - Don't stress yourself, our training schedule had us doing the 20 mile walk 3 weeks before the big night. So I would say you are bang on plan...

    :) thanks w-y. Mine has me doing it two weeks before, and adding a mile each week...i'm going to stick to it, even though my friends told me lots of people have already done the 20...no point in pushing it now :), i'd hate to do myself an injury. Frustrating a bit though lol...hey ho, it's only my competitive nature that makes it so View attachment 2583

    Just stay on the plan you've got H - if you push it and set yourself back you will regret t - you're doing great
