Mission Accomplished: £3000 for CCS

Well, that's it then!  Not only is the marathon successfully completed, but the quite astonishing and unexpected generosity of so many people has brought my fundraising total to £3000.  I would like to list you all - but there have been so many - and even some who I don't know at all!  So, for all of you, this message is my "thank you".  I know the staff and volunteers of CCS, as well as those who benefit from their services, would like to add their thanks to mine.  If you've been following my blog, or know about CCS from some other source, you will be in no doubt of the value of their work.  I'm glad to have been able to contribute to it, thanks to all your donations. 

It's a poignant experience writing this message, feeling satisfaction and achievement at the success of the project, but a little bit of sadness to see it end.  Considering that I'm going through the same sort of transition in another sphere of my life, having finished the final assessments for my theology degree last week, it's an emotionally charged time!  But perhaps what I want to attend to and nurture is the sense of hope I'm aware of somewhere quite deep in me.  Every end is a beginning, so here's to what's coming next!
