Charity Events

We were fed even earlier than usual yesterday. Emma said it was because of a car boot sale her family had a stall at. Apparently Emma's Granddad is doing a walk across the Sinai Desert and up Mount Sinai and Emma and her family are helping to raise money for it. I can't understand why anyone would want to walk across a hot sandy desert where there are no wallows to cool off in and nothing to root up but Emma said her Granddad was doing this to raise money for various cancer charities. Emma has put the details on her website www.emmaspigs.co.uk/CharityEvents.shtml


Emma said people raise money for good causes by doing all sorts of things. For example some people do parachute jumps, or take a bath in baked beans!

We had a bit of a think about all this last night and decided we would like to help too. So we are proposing to do a sponsored feast. We will be paid to eat as much as possible in 24 hours. We haven't told Emma about this idea yet but I'm sure she will be pleased. She will have to provide the food but it will be for a good cause.

We'll let you know when we have sorted it out so you will be able to sponsor us!

Hello Acorn and Berry,

Sorry I've not written before, I have very much been enjoying your blog. I do like your idea of a sponsored feast - can anyone join in?

Hello Tam,

Thank you for your comment, it was great to hear from you.

We are a bit worried about your idea of joining our sponsored feast however, as we won't have enough food to share....!

We think the best way you could help is by providing lots of food for us to feast on. How about it?
