Mongolia here we come!

Off to Mongolia for this year's Brooke sponsored ride in two days time! Very excited! Need to remember what to take and get packing.

I'll write up a full diary with photos when I get back.

It's not too late to sponsor me. Just go to http://www.justgiving.com/chantalcornelius2009

Thank you to all my clients!

In my last post I told you about my 'VAT refund' fundraising idea. It worked and between my clients they helped me raise about £100 for The Brooke.

Who says that fundraising should be difficult?!

Raising Money with Lifting a Finger

This week I came up with a great fundraising scheme that will help raise about £150 for The Brooke without anyone having to do anything.

I run my own business and most of my clients pay by monthly standing order. In December we didn't have time to change their standing orders to meet the clever Chancellor's idea to reduce VAT. We were going to send refunds to all our clients until I asked them if I could roll all the little amounts (ranging from £1.00 to £10.00) into one donation. My clients have already paid the money, so they won't miss it; by combining the small amounts, the overall amount will make a difference.

Thank you to all my lovely clients who have agreed to take part!

How it all began - Fundraising for The Brooke


It all began about five years ago when I started raising money for a charity called The Brooke Hospital for Animals. Go to www.thebrooke.org to find out about the great work they do for people in the Third World, who rely on horses and donkeys to make a living.

Over the years I've done all sorts of silly things to raise money for them. This year, someone suggested that I should start writing about my adventures, so the wonderful people who sponsor and support me can see what I'm really getting up to! So that's what this blog is all about. Keep coming back to read about my latest adventures and see how you can get involved.

In case you're wondering - I'm the two legged one in the photo! The four legged one is my own horse Bee Bee.
