a lifelong dream...

[jubieanna]

I'm going to Kiruna in Sweden next Saturday for a 4 day husky sledding experience! I'm sooo excited. it's something that I've always wanted to do so I thought it's now or never!
I'm raising money for a local mencap centre where my sister-in-law goes (she has downs syndrome)
anyone else ever fulfilled a lifelong dream or let one pass them by?

[dotty.]

that sounds amazing, Would I be able to go to see Garth at the Wynn if I helped raise money too? I could get sponsorship for how many ait miles I had to do?

[jubieanna]

you could raise the money to see your beloved Garth by doing anything you want Dotty. maybe a bunjee jump lol

[ttfn]

jubie - that sounds fabulous - hope you have a brilliant time, and do well for the charity. I have never bothered with lifelong ambitions, just grateful to get through life on a daily basis. I admire annyone who fulfills theirs though ♥

I did about 10 years ago. I went on a Safari in the Masai Mara. It was wonderful to see wild animals in their own habitat.

[jubieanna]

thanks ttfn :-) my OH is very sceptical though because i need the central heating on constantly!!!!!

[tiggerblue10]

Oh and have a great time in Kiruna :o)

[jubieanna]

I don;t undertand how you've tied it in to raising money doing your lifelong dream, this is the bit I need to knwo so that i can make a plan!

The husky sledging sounds great. It`s not a lifelong dream exactly but when I was 19 I went to Africa and saw Kilimanjaro. I said that one day I would go back and climb up it and I did. Flippin hard work though!

[ttfn]

:o) I think the excitement and adrenalin will keep you warm jubie, not to mention running after the huskies each time you part company from the sled - only joking.

[jubieanna]

dotty. I've self funded the trip but thought that as it was a challenging experience, I would raise some money for a worthwhile cause close to my heart. all the money I raise will go to the mencap centre,

[dotty.]

ahh right, that's brilliant, I thought that there was an organised husky sledging charity event held and you'd entered and got sponsors, well done

[jubieanna]

ttfn lol... I will probably come back with a black and blue rear end!

237SJ. what a feat climbing Kilimanjaro well done you

[jubieanna]

tambourine.. I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time there

[tamborine]

a worthy charity jubie; good luck

[tamborine]

Will ask if you can take my place. I only swim in circles due to weak left arm, an I aint ready to feed sharks.

[jubieanna]

dotty.. we will have a guide to help us through but we will in the wilderness for 3 days and nights! staying in a wilderness hut! doesnt sound to glamourous does it lol.
we are going past the Ice Hotel for a visit as well.

[jubieanna]

tambourine.. just conveniently forget to pack your swimsuit!!

[ttfn]

Then the good news for you jubie is that cooling is a good treatment for bruises, you should have that in abundance☺ I really admire you for organising the sponsorship - would you care to post a link to the local mencap centre?
