Some of you know that i did a fundraiser stair climb in March. Most of you don't know i am a genealogist. Through genealogy I have met many people; including one woman who has the same maiden name as my grandmother. She wrote to me once, the typical; oh we're the same name how interesting etc..
and then i never heard from her again.
until about 2 weeks ago. She writes me and tells me her daughter is running the London marathon this weekend. and could i donate, the cause is the national Lifeboat institution, they save lives at sea.
Daughter? I didn't know she had a daughter. I wrote back a friendly note saying, i didn't know you had a daughter, it sounds like a good charity, at least send me a picture and tell me something about your daughter.
She sends back a short email, she can't send pictures, but her daughter runs and the most she has done before is a half marathon and this will be tough.
I send her back a friendly maybe.
well this week, she is looking forward to seeing how much I will donate!
