Talking when being Silent for #ComicRelief does mean Penalties have to be paid…

Simon is finding out that raising money for a great charity whilst being silent is not actually the easiest thing in the World!

He is now in to the fourth hour of the 12 hour challenge and the penalty charge of star jumps for speaking is starting to hurt a little.

In true FitKid spirit, the penalty for speaking is exercise. So, he gets to raise money while keeping quiet and exercising.

Every time he says something he has to do 10 additional star jump on top of the 10 he had to do the first time he spoke!

He is now up to 50 star jumps the next time he speaks.

That could become hard work by 7pm when he can stop and enjoy the show. We may have to impose financial penalties to make his life easier.

Taking up the Charity mantel again after Children in Need

Well after Children in Need last year, we thought we had better get involved for proper in this year’s Comic Relief effort.

Having participated in Sport Relief and Children in Need, this is the next natural fit for us as we all need a laugh sometimes.

Members of the FitKid team will be participating in numerous activities for Comic Relief from bouncing around on spacehoppers all day to keeping quiet!

The latter of which involves Simon going up against the Chris Moyles Radio Show by trying to keep quiet for Comic Relief.

He says, “There comes a time when not talking can be a good thing too you know, especially if it helps some less well off individuals and families across the World.”

Furthermore he makes the point, “If you cannot be bothered to donate money to me that is fine, but do me a favour and donate to Chris. He is doing pretty well after all and that is only £1. I will do this for 12 hours. £1 an hour would be nice!”

Personal congratulations go to all our Team who are participating tomorrow and we will post updates on the Blog in due course.

Finally, and most importantly if you wish to donate to our team and the activities they are undertaking, please go to  http://my.rednoseday.com/FitKidLtd

Raising Money for Charity is Fun! Feels so good….!

Well we have now managed to get all the money in from all our sponsors for Sport Relief and I am pleased to say we raised enough money to purchase 46 Malaria nets to protect children in Africa! Undertaking such a run as we did for Sports Relief in London with our 3 and 6 year old daughters made this process extra special. Not only do they learn the joys of running and having fun whilst doing it but they also learn more about the joys of charity and the importance of helping others who are not as lucky as they are. We highly recommend all families participating in these activities as they are fantastic fun for all.

Now joining Sportacus in Sport Relief mile

What a fantastic mother’s day I have had today, spending time with my 2 daughters and husband and members of my family.  We decided to opt for a different kind of mother’s day and packed up a picnic and headed to the local park for a run around in the wooded area, playing on a variety of play structures and taking a trip on the minature steam train.

While out and about we decided we were going to enter the Sport Relief London mile and join in with Sportacus’ activities.

We are all very excited to be able to be active together as a family at the same time as raising funds for charity.

Are you participating in sports relief ? If so please do let me know about your activities.

Rather than ringing in to donate to Sports Relief, please donate by sponsoring me and my family –

FitKid teams up with Julia’s House Project

I have decided to continue a family tradition that has been close to my family for many years now and that is in supporting Julia’s House, the children’s hospice in Poole, Dorset. Specifically we will be supporting their Pyjama Appeal which was launched this month to fund the charity’s new overnight care service.
In teaming up with Julia’s House, which offers support and respite to life-limited children and their families, I am encouraging schools to take part in fundraising events in their pyjamas or to dream up fundraising ideas with a night-time theme.  With great ideas such as dress-down days, pyjama parties and other sponsored challenges, my team will also be visiting selected schools to engage the children in fun fitness sessions and encourage them to go bananas in pyjamas.

There are many ways you can get involved and encourage your child’s school to get in their pyjamas!  As an incentive, top fundraising schools can have their very own LazyTown Sports Club Go Bananas in Pyjamas session. Hosted by the official LazyTown Sports Club Sportacus himself and the LazyTown Sports Club Team, the children will be asked to get sponsorship to wear their pyjamas and join in the session.  The session will include fun exercises and the children will be encouraged to have a banana, or Sports Candy, as fruit is known in LazyTown, before they get to school.  This will be a wonderful opportunity for the children and schools to be part of the appeal and support such a worthy cause.”

I really hope many schools and other venues, as well as individuals and families will back this project which is something very close to me due to the fact that my parents are and my grandparents were huge supporters of Julia’s House.
