The start of december, when it is sociably acceptable to sing out of tune to chirstmas songs, wear novelty jumpers and eat lots of chocolate! Also most running events are usually a blur of red due to the santa dash! This past sunday myself, miss wiltshire galaxy and miss swindon took part in the Wiltshire Air Ambulance's first Santa Dash at Lydiard Park. The event, which raised over £5000 was the first in it's history and was helped by the Swindon Rotary Club. Everyone received a santa outfit and had a warm up of Zumba! With a little gangnam style thrown in! It was icy and cold but over 200 turned up! We had a press shoot with Santa (I wished for a PERFECT Christmas) and Whisky Bear, the WAA's official mascot. Werent these ponies cute with their antlers on! Then the mayor opened up the race and we were off!! Georgia had her little Henry in his pram enjoying the ride whilst we jogged and dodged the icy puddles! It was a great chance for a sunday morning exercise with some pageant gossip thrown in! The support was great also!
We crossed the line singing christmas songs, out of breath but they still count, and was handed our cute little medals and a snapshot with the mayor who congratulated us. But the real heroes are the ones still keeping Wiltshire Air Ambulance running and saving lifes! I am so happy to be a part of something that makes a difference in the community! We even got our santa picture in the paper the next day, and they just used our names for once! No titles! :O Now we will be opening the Santa Dash at Coate Water in aid of Prospect Hospice, a charity us Wiltshire beauty queens help alot at. We will be doing something different from the Santa Sash though so look out for a christmas tree and a snowwoman, and whatever Ela will be! See you there people, remember go PERFECT or go HOME! For it's christmas!!!
