If all this talk of challenges and indeed mince pies has got you thinking about what you and your mates could do we've got just the thing
Just heard that you'll be able to see how the guys got on in Uganda on BBC One 6.30pm, Sunday 27th Dec - mince pie in hand.
@Gizmo19890 Mr Moyles did indeed go for a run after that breakfast - a 3 mile run in the midday Ugandan sun. The man is a machine.
Which reminds me - some news on the way tomorrow about how you can do your own challenge and help buy even more nets!
That's just about it from Uganda. 500,000 nets and 1.5 million people protected. Thank you.
As Fearne, Ben, Gary, Chris and Kim find out more about the havoc malaria causes - the net distribution moves on to the next area.
And all because the Kili climbers rose to the challenge and you sponsored them - good work.
Its a lovely thought that last night 14,000 families had probably their first ever night under a net and safe from malaria.

In the words of Mr Gary Barlow himself, 'if anything makes doing a challenge like Kili worthwhile, its seeing what we've seen today.'
The next batch of 6000 RND nets are going out now. There will be 1.5 million in total - protecting an area the size of Northern Ireland.
Well, its safe to say that was a huge success. 8000 nets given out and an awful lot of families protected.

Big day tomorrow. Masses of people expected to come and pick up one of the Comic Relief nets. Should be something special.
Tough afternoon for Gary and Kim at a local hospital seeing the damage malaria can do.

Which makes every step of the climb more than worth while.
