We started the collection with the end-goal being our participation in Tjejvättern, we had a secondary goal of raising enough money to start a fund in our dad’s name, we didn’t reach that goal. The money that we have collected this far will be forwarded to an already existing fund where doctors working with reasearch on Amyloidosis can apply for grants. It’s better that the money is made available for that purpose rather than sitting on an account waiting for more money to come in.
We will also close the swedish bank account as this comes with a monthly fee, the paypal account will stay open for donations even in the future. The blog will still be here, I can’t make any promises on the pace of updates, since these two sisters haven’t been that great at it up until now.
I know that I’m still completing something that’s called the Göteborgs Klassikern this year, I have already done the 50k biking and I have a 1k swim and 10k run left to complete. If I can use this to raise some more money, I will, so will try to keep updating the progress, and there better be some progress!
The swim is on the 18th of August, I went swimming last week and managed 250m, in a pool – lets see how 1000m in a lake will work out.
Until then; thank you all for the support this far!
