Freyja seems to have gone completely mad

Not only has she taken up roller derby skating - which I suppose could be explained as being a fun form of exercise and therefore good for her and so not mad at all - but she has now enrolled to participate in a skating marathon at the beginning of August.  OK - the cause is a good one. Raising funds for the Sheffield Children's Hospital.  But a marathon?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?  Isn't that something like 26 miles?  Bonkers, I  tell you.  Bonkers!!!!  (Although she has pointed out that she'll be on wheels so if she gets tired someone can push her.  Good thinking!!)

She is now begging for sponsorship so, if you're feeling charitable you can donate your pounds, dollars or whatever your currency of choice at the Sheffield Steel Roller Girls' charity page at http://www.justgiving.com/Sheffield-Steel-Roller-Girls

If you want to watch them Do Their Stuff, they are holding Sheffield's first ever Roller Derby Bout (which is a sport, vaguely like a race apparently) at Ponds Forge on July 24th from 3pm. Tickets are £6, Under 11s are free

And if you want to know more, their website is at http://www.sheffieldsteelrollergirls.co.uk/    ( But mostly it seems to be girls in tight clothes bashing each other with sticks)

There are no sticks! Just shoulders and bums for bashing. And I promise I won't bash you if you don't sponsor to the cause... but donations are definitely welcome :)
