00:00 I'm Helen from Tylde in South Sea, Miami and Road.
00:04 And tell me what you're going to be doing.
00:05 I'm going to be running the Great Self Run on Sunday
00:08 and I've been asking for donations of crisps to fill the bath that's in my shop window.
00:15 They will be given to charity for Sophie's Legacy
00:18 who will use them in the snack box scheme in hospitals.
00:22 So tell me how you feel about the amount of donations you've been getting of crisps.
00:26 It's been overwhelming actually because the bath is quite visual
00:31 so there's been complete strangers who know nothing about me and the business
00:37 that have seen the shop, have seen the signs and the bath and wanted to donate.
00:42 I've had parents as well that have benefited from the snack box scheme
00:46 so they've obviously felt compelled to add to the bath of crisps.
00:51 Equally customers, friends and family.
00:54 And I'm pleased to say I'm brimming if not certainly full at the moment.
00:59 And what made you choose the crisps option not for donations?
01:04 I think this moment in time it's quite difficult to be asking for money donations from people
01:10 and I think with crisps people can give as little, as much as they want.
01:15 And it felt like it also has a direct impact to the charity
01:21 and it's a quite nice visual thing to do.
01:24 So you were saying earlier, but just to touch on what the response has been like
01:28 and how you feel about the run on Sunday.
01:31 It's come quite quickly the run, I'm not going to lie.
01:35 So a couple more days to go.
01:37 I have put some training in this time, this will be my third time running.
01:41 I have raised money before for Sophie's Legacy
01:43 hence why I thought I'd change it up a little bit this year.
01:47 But the weather looks good, it looks cold, it looks sunny.
01:50 But yeah, I'm really, really motivated now the bath's full.
01:53 So thanks very much to everyone.
01:55 Are you still open for donations of crisps?
01:57 Absolutely, I am a donation point for Sophie's Legacy anyway.
02:01 So moving forward if anybody wanted to donate you're welcome to at any time.
02:05 But for the purpose of the bath and the crisps
02:08 I'm open until 3 o'clock on Saturday when we'll be doing the big count
02:13 and I'll be able to reveal how many we've managed to collect.
