Thank you for taking the time to visit my Strictly Ballroom page in aid of Weldmar Hospicecare Trust.

I've been hoping to take part in the competition since 2013, when I first applied. Unfortunately, all of the female places had been taken and shortly after submitting my application last year, the competition had to be postponed - so I'm thrilled to be chosen this year.

After raising £600 for taking part in Weldmar's Midnight Walk last year, I've set my sights on raising £1,000 - but it won't be possible without your support. Weldmar - which cares for patients with cancer and other terminal illnesses - needs to raise £10 every minute of every day to continue providing their services free of charge.

Any donations towards my Strictly Ballroom challenge are much appreciated. Thank you for your support.
