Just came across this whilst looking for something else and thought people might like to reminisce, since Gaynor Bear and Mommylonglegs have been mentioned on the new GRFB page

Still have my small pink bear, sitting on the back of the sofa

I often think of Gaynor Bear's travels, she came to me in Norwich and spent time with me and my son on his birthday. She also attended the Lord Mayor's Procession.

I still have the small bear that I bought from Jenny, she sits on the back of the sofa (the bear, not Jenny)

Why?

nudged.....in connection with my other thread, Do you still have your baby Gund?....

many people didn't know of this relay and what it stood for

It started as just 'an idea' but it generated such great times. I'm sure many of us got to meet and hear about other's lives in a way that was unique. I enjoyed being part of her travels Thank you Jenny and GB. Well done. Gwyn

Well done, GB and Mommy Gwynne

I am so sorry I have only just read the last few posts. Thank you all for your posts. I am starting a new thread shortly, so this one is now closed. Jenny.

Well done Jenny - please don't think people have forgotten this massive event that you organised....we haven't at all. I pop in regularly to check how GB's doing. Any news on the calendar or have any pics been chosen for it yet? Lucy x

Hello all of Gaynor Bear's friends it seem's an age since the travells started I never thought I would get to see GB but she eventually arrived with the help of Star and Hubby then after a few days she was off on her travells again and now is coming to the end of her journey people have made so many friends and made many a long journey in the name of charity I still get asked now where is your pink Bear one person told me he had seen a big pink Bear on its way to the north pole with some RAF guys and was it ours well I was unable to answer that one but it has been fun folowing the progress So Jenny From all of us thank you for all you have done xxHowie Xx

Just to let you all know that I collected Gaynor Bear on Thursday 15th Feb from Sue. We travelled to Aberdeen and then back to Inverness. She is currently reclining in my grandson's chair! Hopefully, tomorrow, we will go to Skye - and equally hopefully, I'll get my camera to work!! Christine

Jenny Let me know if you want any help with the reunion,we may be going away sometime in May but I guess the Meet will be before then?? Ann

I have also still been following the relay, cant believe its nearly ending, you are one great person Jenny for perservering with it. Without this relay i might never have met and kept in touch with that delightful man Howie. take care Star

Jenny bet Beau cant wait to see her again lol. Doesnt seem that long ago that I was going down the motorway to meet Jess with a sign in back of my car and recovering from the shock of the local firemen putting her in a hat, Glad its all been worth it d xx

Well done Jenny! My children still ask after GB. We marked on a map with pink stickers where she'd been (and green for where she was going) when she came to us in Wirral. My children took the map and a powerpoint presentation of general pictures of places she'd been when GB gave a 'talk' to their 3 Year 5 classes. I have a feeling they'd like to go to the wedding and as we are the mad parents who drive to Hadrians Wall for the day we'll probably be there if its not a school day. Best wishes teresa

A very BIG well done Jenny it has taken tremendous patience on your part organizing such a huge task. but it's now nearly time to put your feet up ..what will you do now with so much spare time.lol.. I kow there's a couple events to come yet so keep us posted on those please. i always pop in to look at where GB is and at what she's been up to.. lets hope the meet is one i can get too . Our best wishes to you Jenny and well done Marion and family.x.

Well done Jenny. Finishing post in sight. Daisy

So very well done for persevering with this to the end Jenny. It has truly been a marathon task and verybody has done so well. As somebody else said, who would have thought a 'silly' idea would have raised so much for the Pink fund and brought so much pleasure and friendships to so many. And no, I don't think anyone had forgotten, I have checked the thread regularly and I am sure everyone else has too. good luck with the finale. Ann Glos

Jenny well done on finalising this marathon task! You really are one heck of a gal!! Love Linda x

Well done you...... nearly 2 years to complete but worth every effort that people have made!! Who would have thought that a 'silly idea' could have done so much good and bought so many people together!! You are a STAR!! xx

Hi Jenny, Well done with the relay, all the worry was worth it! I am still here behind you praying everything goes well with GB. How is my little boy Beau Bear? I bet he had a great xmas and New Year with you but must be missing GB dreadfully. I can't wait to see a photo of their reunion. Not long untill your little girl will be home so again well done, you should be very proud of yourself. I, along with many others are very proud of you as it has not always been easy for you what with keeping up with where GB is, what she is up to etc, also you have had your own personal problems to contend with but you never gave up! A big cheer for you Jenny from me. Love Trixie xx
