Just phoned Macmillan who say application is being proceessed and I should receive my fund raising pack next week. Better start that fund raising now!

I've set up an account for fundraising with JustGiving.Com and made some amendments to my template page. I have also added the following links -
Please Sponsor Me!
Macmillan Cancer Relief.
About Peru.
I've made enquiries about opening a bank account for collection and deposit of sponsorship money. I might even get a contribution from the Bank!
Just need the OK from Macmillan and then I can really get my teeth into raising money for Macmillan.

The Trip itinerary is as follows -
Day 1 Fly to Lima
Day 2 Fly to Cusco and adjust to altitude.
Day 3 Hike 5 hours to Sacsayhuaman.
Day 4 Only 82km to go! Hike 6 hours to Mt.Veronica standing at 5ooom.
Day 5 Hike 8 to 12 hours and climb from 2700m to 4200. to Pacamayo.
Day 6 Hike 8 to 10 hours mostly up steps! (Great!!!!) to Winay Wayna;
Day 7 Hike 3 hours to Machu Picchu - The Lost City of the Incas;
Day 8 Free Day in Cusco (Head for the nearest bar!)
Day 9 Return to UK.

I have received the application forms and have sent them off to Macmillan with the £275. registration fee. Hope to get the OK then I can start raising the minimum of £3,000. of which at least 65% goes to Macmillan with the balance being spent on the costs of the trip. That sounds like a hell of a lot of money! However the trip isn't til May 2007 so I have 12 months to raise this amount. Thats also 12 months to get fit!
