Please give a bit to your Favourite Charity…. for my 48 hour run/walk….by old RLS lady😄

[Kakally]

!!PLEASE GIVE TO ANY CHARITY👍!!

Gonna attempt a 48 hour running/walking race around a 400 metre track In Gloucester 11th August 10am -13th August 10am. We change directions every 4 hours😄!

PLEASE WOULD YOU GIVE A DONATION TO YOUR FAVOURITE CHARITY 😃👍. There will be a sweepstake for the person who can guess the number of miles I complete to the nearest yards or metres.

The only prize will be a hug from me or massive gratitude, but it will be fun to see what figures you come up with😂. And hopefully a number of charities will benefit.

So please :

1. Say what charity you will donate to so we can advertise it

2.Say how much you are happy to give (this is optional 😄)

3.Say how many miles and yards/metres you think will be completed !

Remember that I am really ancient and unfit, with a rather dodgy unpredictable attitude, so the mileage will not be great hahaha!

Thank you all xxxxx🥰

Well done Kakally.1 RLS UK

2.£30

3. 240 miles

Good luck.

[Kakally in reply to Joolsg]

. Fantastic. for RLS UK! But 240 miles is up there with the top world champions aged 30!! . I would cut the mileage down to between a quarter (60) and a half (120)!!😂😂😂 remember I am 68..,, 😂😂😂

[Joolsg in reply to Kakally]

I will donate whether you manage 10 Kakally, but suspect you're a dark horse & will break all records!

[Kakally in reply to Joolsg]

thank you so much Joolsg . But I promise you I am very ordinary but enjoy the craziness of it… 🤪

[Kaarina Administrator]

I have a feeling you will smash that! 💪💪👍Wishing you all the very best with this venture. 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

[RLSLearner]

OMG 48hrs!! 68 yo is plenty young! Even younger if you do things like this! 101 miles would be a long way!$100 Aus

[Kakally in reply to RLSLearner]

RLSLearner thank you very much ! Thanks for the $100 Aus . I’m guessing your favourite charity is?? Can’t be RLS UK? . (My idea was to raise money for people’s favourite charity.)

[RLSLearner]

I am involved with The Hunger Project Australia. It started in the US and does have a UK branch.

[Kakally in reply to RLSLearner]

👍👍I will Google ‘the hunger project’

Dear pennygates,

Thank you very much for your donation and guess of 99 miles !😱. I will try hard 🤗

[pennygates]

I'm guessing you have a stubborn streak, which will help you. Keep well and be happy.

[Kaarina Administrator]

I hope training is going well for you, Kakally. 👍💪💪🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Yes…. Sort of… 2 weeks to go…😱😂

[Kakally in reply to Kakally]

Thank you xx

Bump

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand 😃

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

A thread bump is the act of adding a new message or post to a particular thread/discussion in order to return it to the top of the thread/discussion list. If no one replies for a good few hours or a day for instance, the thread falls right down the page and others may well miss it. By adding the word "bump" this brings the message back up to the top of the page where hopefully more members will see it when logging on and hopefully support you in your walk/run by pledging a donation to their favourite charity etc.

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

How kind of you AND I’ve learned something new and very useful 😂👍👏👏👏Thank you Kaarina xx

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

Pleased to help. I think it is great what you are doing. 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️👍

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

🤗

[Kakally]

6 days to go !

[Kaarina Administrator]

The countdown starts now! Power to you! 💪🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Ooops! Actually I’m that nervous that it is not 6 days away but 13 days to go🤪😂. I got my sums wrong!

Nerves or my age…. Not sure which . Anyway it’s beginning to get a bit close….😂😂😂😂😂

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

😂🤣 What are we like? It is not even August yet! Nearly, but not quite! You have got ages before the big day. R-e-l-a-x.

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

😂🤗👍

[Kaarina Administrator]

Cannot believe that it is 7 days ago since we last had contact. Even though the weather has not been at all great I hope you have been able to get out walking /running in readiness for the big day(s) in 5 days time. It is really good of you to do this for charity and is really appreciated. I see it is mentioned on the charity website too.🌻 👍💪💪🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Thank you Kaarina..!

Yes I have been out doing some miles😁. Not too many so I’m not too tired on race day. I sort of taper off the training hopefully to the correct level 🤪😂. Thanks very much for the encouragement… 4 1/2 days before it begins…. Yikes..! 🤞

Is there anyone else out there who wants to predict my miles walked over 48 hours and give some money to your favourite charity. Let me know any you may win the massive prize! That is a lovely online hug from me and the joy in knowing that you were intuitive and kind 👍👏👏👏🥰

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

The start of a new week Kakally! Not long now. You will do really great. I think I may well have under estimated how many miles you will achieve. 😀💪💪

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Yes, new week and weather picking up… no please don’t think you have underestimated my potential mileage. If I was 30 years younger, then maybe… however now with the ravages of time , crummy joints and 32 years of RLS it is very likely that it could be a complete wimp-out effort. But I will have a word with my brain and my soul and tell them to dig deep 🤪😂

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

Whatever you achieve mileage wise will be absolutely great. I would be utterly useless! Keep well. I am counting down the days like I expect you are too. 😀🙏🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Thank you Kaarina..

yes , definitely counting down the days. Big protein for the next two days, then carbo-boosting for the last couple of days. Not sure that it will do any good for my performance but who doesn’t love yummy carbs..😋All support most gratefully received 🤗

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

I am sure it will help your performance. You appear to know exactly what to do. I have a feeling you have taken part in events like this before - probably many times. Well done you! ⭐⭐

[Kaarina Administrator]

Hi Kakally

How's it been and how are you. Mixed batch with the weather at least where I Iive! Hope you are OK and look forward to hearing how you did over the three days. Will be sending my donation to RLS-UK very soon!

It was incredibly kind and thoughtful of you to do this to raise funds for RLS-UK or any other charity others were willing to donate to.

One more day to go? 💪🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️💪👍👏👏

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Thank you so much Kaarina for you kind and inspiring thoughts. I have just posted more details to everyone xxxx

[Kakally]

Kates 48 hour race…

It’s done and I am totally and utterly shattered but happy as I did try very hard and didn’t give up which I thought I might do.

Thank you for all the support you have given and some money has been pledged to RLS-UK !!

If anyone didn’t want to donate any before , it is never too late snd I’m sure RLS-UK will be very happy to receive even the smallest amount…

Now for the figures … I walked 104+ miles in the 48 hours , which I was pleased with … (I was actually 1st and last in my age category , 65-69 , BUT being the only one in this age category that wasn’t hard !hahahaha! To put it in perspective, there was one amazing 79 year old lady Edda Bauer who walked 125 miles! She is the world record holder for her age group and I am not anywhere near her league. The winning lady ran about 220 miles and the winning man ran about 240 miles! Just staggering!

Anyway I turned up and had a fun (?!?😂) time. The winner of my ‘guess Kate’s distance sweepstake’ is RLS LEARNER who guessed 101 miles ! So congratulations ! And thank you very much for donating and joining in..

BIG LOVE to all us RLS folks and may we all get good relief from the mean torture.

Kate xx

[Kaarina Administrator]

Well done you, Kakally. You are a star. You did really well. Congratulations and huge thanks for undertaking this venture for charity. You must be very proud of yourself. I am proud of you anyway! I hope others are too and let you know by supporting you. Power to you! Hugs. 👍💪🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️👏👏🌻🌻⭐⭐💛💛

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

Massive warm thanks 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰

[Kaarina Administrator in reply to Kakally]

Just made the promised donation to RLS-UK. Thank you again for doing this for us. You are one in a million.

[Kaarina Administrator]

If a few people gave up a little treat like a take away coffee or a bought sandwich and donated to RLS-UK or another charity in support of Kakally's run/walk that would be really awesome.💛🧡❤️💚💙💜

[Kakally in reply to Kaarina]

What a great idea Kaarina !!👍🥰
