FUNDRAISING UPDATE!!

A cracking send-off party at Nordic Bar in London on Saturday night was enjoyed by friends and revellers alike. We raised a decent chunk for the BHF, and are getting ever closer to our charity fundraising target. A huge thank you to everyone who turned up and spent hard-earned wedge, and helped us to enjoy a great night. It was fantastic to see so many people there - your support really is appreciated.

Also a big thank you to Nordic Bar for their generosity, and for their help in the organisation of the night.

Some of the bids for the auction items did not meet the reserve, and the auction will therefore continue online. A list of the items still available will shortly appear on the site. You can then bid by sending an email to Alex at alex@breakingtrail.co.uk. Please do send the website address round to anyone who might be interested in the auction items - you never know who might be searching for that perfect birthday/anniversary/Easter/sorry I was bad present...

Remember, you can now make a donation to the British Heart Foundation via our new link http://www.bhf.org.uk/sponsor/breakingtrail/ (please visit the Charities page for more details).
