It
all started on Sunday, 15th July 2007. I was determined to do it!
When we walked past
the Houses of Parliament, my mum said we were close to where we had to
meet, so we kept on walking. Finally, we reached the park where we had
to start.
After 10 minutes of
waiting we were off! My Granddad and I sped off leaving my Nan, Mum and
Dad behind. We reached the first bridge after about five to ten minutes,
when we crossed we looked at our map - seven more bridges to go.
To get to the next
bridge took 7 to 15 minutes, and so on, until we were in sight of London
Bridge, which was the 7th bridge, that kept our momentum
going, we were so encouraged by seeing London Bridge we started jogging,
then we slowed down because there were drinks, and then we started to
jog again.
We slowed down again
to listen to a man who was singing along the bank of the river before
moving on again. When we set foot on Tower Bridge my mind jumped, I
started running for the end and crossed - yippee!! I got a certificate
declaring I had completed the walk.
My family and I
managed to raise just over £2,000 and, all in all, it was a
fantastic day and I
deserved the sleep I had when I got home!
