Story

Having eaten too many chocolates and junk food in January whilst doing year end, some of the finance team at The Perfume Shop decided in a moment of madness that they needed a goal to aim for to start to exercise.  And so the "For the Love" team was born and

Gill, Sian, Louise, Emma and Rashda are going  to:

      Power walk 13 miles through the streets of London                            

   In our bras  (You can help design the bra, on paper!!!)

   During the night

along with 20,000 other women (and the odd man) to raise money for Breast Cancer.

The training schedule has been interesting - the younger one has started going for a run every morning and is now cycling to work, another started walking to work well before Christmas, one thinks as she has completed the walk 2 years ago she doesn't need to train this time and the rest are still thinking about the walk, whilst consoling themselves with more chocolates.

The training schedule went on the wall and in time honoured tradition was ignored as we ordered a Friday pizza!

With 4 weeks to go reality has hit home and there is no turning back - the bras have arrived, the Perfume Shop employees have been asked to enter a competition to design the bras and some people have already pledged money. 

So please donate anything you can to this worthy cause.  Some of you may want to pay more for the T shirts to stay on and others may want to donate more so we tell you the route!
