Thank you all for visiting my page 😊

So here is my story....

I remember it like it was yesterday! 

It was a Thursday evening. The 18th of December 1997, just one week before Christmas. I was watching the demon headmaster when the phone rang. I answered the call and they asked for my mum. I knew by the look on my mums face something terrible was wrong. My mum then sat me down and told me that Tyffany, my best friend had passed. Meningitis had taken her away from us. She was only 9! My heart sank and I went numb. 

Every night after that I wrote a letter to her. Instead of Dear diary it was Dear Tyffany. I used to always write and say how much I loved and missed her. I remember the summer before she died we went to hinksey swimming pool and had the best time! We done gymnastics together and roller skating. Our mums and dads were best friends so we used to spend most weekends at each others houses. We used to climb trees, ride our bikes and get shot by the farmers in the Wheatley fields for going on their land! Well obviously that was our imagination! 

We used to have the greatest of times. I will never forget them and I will cherish the memories forever 💗

A year after her passing, Tyffanys mum and dad, Donna and Ashley, used all their strength and put together a fundraising event. It was a 10 mile walk around Wheatley which started and ended up at the king and queen pub in Wheatley. They managed to raise over a massive £10,000.00!  I remember thinking, I’m going to raise money for you one day Tyff 💗 And here I am 23 years later! 

Since then in my community Meningitis has sadly taken  away another two beautiful souls. 🥲

Shazia, was sadly taken aged 25, leaving behind her young Son, boyfriend, loving mum Lorraine and family behind 💗

Then, most recently Ann-Marie lost her precious son Louie, who was only 20 months old! 💙

This is a nasty virus and my heart breaks for anyone having to go through it!

Usually people would do a 50k jog in 50 days. I however, because this is so close to my heart, will be doing 150k+ In 60 days. I will be starting on the 1st of feb and ending on the 1st April. I will be completing most of it with my 2 youngest which I have a comfy double running pushchair for 😊 My oldest son Jodi is also wanting to complete some of it with me and will be helping me along the way 💙

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share and donate if you can. If it’s 50p, £1, £5 or £10. Every little helps! 

This one is for you Tyff 💗
