If you made that one you can do anything bro - so keep going. Quite a few relatives in UK are following your progress, so with luck you should get some more donations too.

I was following you on SPOT during the day and got real worried when I saw that you had not lodged a spot for some hours. A running friend and I met last night on the way to a yoga class and logged on to find still no sign of movement so I am very pleased you succeeded with out mishap and injury. Hope that you get through today and get a good nights sleep this evening. good luck for the rest of the week. We are all with you in spirit if not actually and will be watching your progress with hope and encouragement. Tim Mal,
