The generosity of human nature.

I've just spent the past 24 hours involved in a charity event in order to raise money for the community of Beslan. Clicky below if you want to know more.

My unit basically rowed, cycled and ran the distance between our base and the town of Beslan. Approx 5500 miles. We started at 9am Monday, and its due to finish Saturday, midday.

I just need to say that I was overwhelmed, suprised and humbled by the generosity of some people.

From the old folk who gave money, when they clearly dont have much, to the younger people, pretty much everyone was incredibly generous.

I spent an hour counting money, and I counted 1400 pounds. That was raised in one 24 hour period. We did 6 of those....
I'm tired, and sore from my exercising, and I never want to see another exercise bike saddle again, but I'm pleased that people are so nice.

I signed up for a couple of charity runs in the next 3 months. I plan on signing up for a couple more before summer is through. The thought of people coming together to do sports for good causes is cool.
