Let’s jump straight into it, I’ve got to raise around £2,600 by May 2016. Luckily, World Challenge have made this much easier by asking us to pay in installments:
1st November 2015
|
£450
|
1st January 2016
|
£500
|
1st March 2016
|
£650
|
19th May 2016
|
£947
|
I’ve paid the £450 (can i get a woop woop?) by fundraising it all myself, not by my parents paying. Next I’ve got two months to make £500, I think we all know what I’m asking for this Christmas.
So, £2,600 to raise... why not get mother nature to help!
Now I’m not talking about anything bad, I’m talking about home grown food, more specifically, apples. Apples that I turned into some delicious juice.
So we have an apple tree in our garden, and it’s pretty cool. We’ve always made apple juice and this year my dad said I should use it to raise money for my World Challenge. So sure enough, I did.
It’s quite simple really, all we do is pick the apples & drop them down at Chiltern Ridge Apple Juice who press them for us, and we come back to collect the bottles of apple juice. We know the lady who works there as well, and she was sweet enough (pardon the pun) to give me a job, which really helped me to pay my first installment of £450 - Thank you Franka!
So on a beautiful September morning (yes, I admit this post is a little late) my father and I picked apples, and a lot of them.

Overall, we got about 75 bottles!

| 5 boxes of 15 bottles |
We also got a cute little label on the bottles aswell...
For any of you wondering, I'm selling them for £3 a bottle, which I know seems expensive, but it's for charity! The juice alongside working at the farm helped me reach the first £450, and now it's onto the £500.
Only 213 days to go... we can do this!
