Countdown has begun!

Virgin Island cupcakes!

The food was yummy, the weather fine and I think all enjoyed the champagne reception at the end of June. I cannot thank all who helped make this such a successful evening enough - to name a few - Catherine did a fab job with the food, Carol and her infamous cupcakes, not to mention Liz and Kari Hale who provided the splendid venue amongst others! We raised just under £800 which is just a tremendous sum and good timing with the entries for Hartpury going in that weekend! I am having problems with my old computer - coping with all the lovely pictures that have been sent me of the evening - but there are a few more shots in the gallery page of Rhapsody lapping up the attention and showing off!
Meanwhile a nice feature has been published by the IPC on their website on me being the first competitor for the VI in any Paralympic Games http://paralympic.org/feature/equestrian-rider-be-us-virgin-islands-first-athlete and I have also just given an interview for the St Thomas Daily News for a daily feature they are running on the islands' Olympic competitors - there are 7 athletes competing in London - sailing, swimming and track events - and me! And the countdown to the Games really has begun - Hartpury was the  selection trials for Team GB and everyone was in Olympic mode - the place was buzzing with excitement - that report will come next.
Really so much has been going on - if I thought I was busy before... well think again Lee!
