On Saturday me and my hubby and my niece and two other girls went to do this event
Well it was a really hot day and I had put on a long sleeved t-shirt thinking I would need it and then had to put the charity t-shirt on top so I was boiling, we did a warm up of Zumba which I have never done and is not very ME friendly to say the least (even Pilates is strenuous for me) then we did the record attempt of 1 minute bouncing on the space hoppers, think there were around 700 people that did it. But after that there was an optional attempt of 200 yards bounce round the field, well I decided to try for it along with hubby when he said I am stopping I realised I had way over-done it and my eyes went all blurry and I had to go and sit on the grass and my hubby got me some water which helped and my eyes gradually cleared and I could stand up.
My dad has terminal cancer and I wanted to give something back to help the cause, I should have least got sponsored to do it doh, maybe next year
Here is me pre-bounce:)

My Poem for ME Awareness
I wrote this poem in 2001
I have had ME since 1995
I still have ME in 2011
And I am still waiting for life to begin
Old Before Time
32 (now 42) years of age
Prime of life
For some that is
Me I am unfortunate
Have a debilitating illness
For which there's no cure
Not terminal
But may as well be
Life on hold
Awaiting a re-birth
To a zestful existence
The former self
Never stopped to rest
Now all I do is…rest
Sympathise with the elderly
Understand their plight
Feel their limitations
But I could wait for that
When it is my time
But for now
I have a lot of living to do
