With only two weeks left to go before the big 40 and I set off on holiday, I only have 5 challenges left...
Bar a minor miracle, there is one challenge I am probably going to fail to complete but will continue to try and do so and that is to lose a stone in weight, I only half completed the challenge so have donated a £1 for each pound in weight I failed to lose to my fundraising page.
However, this is the list of challenges I have completed, it has cost me over £600 to complete them all (although I haven't counted all the money paid for accommodation and petrol etc!). It has definately made it a year to remember and this is how my year of 40 challenges panned out;
