My Gold Medal award

Well I've said about all I can, about hep c  & how it effected my life & how I think people at risk should be tested & so on.

There comes a point were it's time to start over & put certian things behind you. People tell me, " you'd make a great Councillor," well that maybe so, but for now I've decided to begin again.

No doubt it won't be long before I'm writing another blog about one thing or another, I find it a good way of getting to grips with a subject, especially one that aims to help others. Speaking of others I was absolutely blown away by a little parcel I received in the post a short while back. A friend had asked for my address, initially I had agreed she could send it to my local post office ( I had previously given my address to one on fb, with the promise of a gift from another & yet nothing came ), so I had made a rule that I would do it, no more !

The post office held onto it for a couple of days & then sent it back from whence it came, oh & they told me not to use them for such transactions in future, oh what a mess, lol. So I gave my address to this friend & this is what I received...

From Jo Morgan to Peter Moore

My son & I joke about my gift of zeitgeist  but this time it was bang on, not only had I chosen the 100th anniversary of Scott's trip to the Antarctic to create my own expedition, I had picked the same day as the opening ceremony of the Olympics to begin our challenge, not to mention the fact that the oylimpic flame was carried to the summit of Snowdon by one of my hero's Chris Bonington just days before I would set foot on the same summit. The Paralympic flame also followed this theme by using the same 3 peaks plus one in Ireland ( Slieve Donard ) only this time the scouts would create a fire on each mountain & then carry them down to eventually meet up at Stoke Mandeville. You can't turn around for programs on mountains, Prince Harrys men on Everest, Griff Rhys giving it a go, Julia Bradbury lost on Mickldore just as I was... 

The mountains have saved my life or at least helped me create the best chance of a longer happier lifestyle. I will continue to climb, walk & scramble up them for as long as my legs will allow. I bloody love it ! & hell I even deserved a medal in at least one persons eyes... Thank you Jo Morgan your a great friend to have, I know & you know, just what we've been through ;-)

Peace
