Mission spread the word is under way!  Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been trying to get the attention of the local media to inform people of what we’re doing and hopefully inspire people to get on board and sponsor us.  We’ve had a really good response so far and even made front page news in the Flintshire Leader.  It’s also probably the only time I’ll be able to say my photo was on page 3!  Readers of the Flintshire Chronicle and the Daily Post have also been able to read about the progress made to date.

Having our expedition on the BBC Online has certainly helped us gain some interest and we’ve had a number of e-mails from groups across the country who have seen the story and felt inspired to have their own adventures.  We’ve also had a mention on Heart FM according to some colleagues who heard it on their way to a meeting!

We’re hoping this interest will now spread into the national media and generate more interest in our quest.  If anyone out their has any ideas or contacts then we emplore you to get in touch and let us know.  We don’t have celebrity friends or stacks of cash for a PR campaign so we really are depending on the power of the people to make this happen.
