Sarah Moshman is the amazing Emmy award winning documentary maker that is going to tell our story for us.
I took the opportunity to Skype with my family (as all the other girls have their parents here in San Fran). It was a great 45 minutes and although incredibly emotional was amazing to be reminded of their constant support and encouragement. My mum, dad and brother are my anchors in my life and thoughts of them will keep me rowing stroke by stroke to Australia.
Andrew from our Best Year Yet program, who happens to be in San Francisco, came to say hello. Being a personal friend of mine, it was great to see him. Izz and Ems returned and we all had a tuna sandwich lunch (one of my favourite foods – who anyone who knows me will testify to!) and then LP (Laura) and I headed off for interviews with Sarah.
Not the best day to be doing this giving my vulnerable emotional state…but it had to be done never the less.So many different emotions coming and going today that I couldn’t put my finger on any of them!
I fell asleep knowing that this will be my last night that I sleep in solid ground in a bed that is not moving and for more than 90 minutes!!
Let the journey begin… x
god speed enjoy
Good luck, I’m on your wall as I bought a mile, with metastatic breast cancer, will be with you all the way x
Feel very emotional reading this Natalia, if I could have been in San Fran to give you a massive hug I would have! Now let those ocean waves and Mother Nature take care of you, I know she will! X
You are the best prepared team that ever was! You can do this, and you will do this.
It is both good for the men and women of the charities you have chosen, AND it is amazingly good for you.
Think about the stories you will be able to tell those future children and grand-children!
All’s well that ends well, so onwards and upwards.

Best of luck guys, the first week will be the most horrendous week, but after that it gets better, in fact it gets brilliant, you’ll have an amazing time!
