Story
In my 50th year I want to challenge myself in experiencing things, both small and large that I have never done before in my time here on earth. Without costing a small fortune in financing the experiences I have had help from some of my closest friends to come up with some tasks on my 50th year.
The tasks are all related- endurance, personal fitness and wellbeing, charitable and family. All of the tasks listed are either things I have never done, thought of doing or choose not to do! (For instance; reading a book or doing the ironing). There are some random ones too !
I have just over 6 months to cram in 50 tasks, that's just over 8 tasks a month. I will be posting my evidence on this page and FB. All I ask for is if I have completed all the tasks by the 11th July could you please donate just £5.00 once they have been completed.
