Story

In memory of Gerry a much loved husband, dad and grandad I am taking on the Strong Woman Challenge this October 2026 for the British Heart Foundation.

We sadly lost Gerry in July 2022 to an undiagnosed heart condition, and our family has felt that loss every day since. This challenge means so much to me because it is a way to honour his memory while supporting vital research that can help save lives.

The Strong Woman Challenge is a 31-day strength training event, and I will be doing it at my own pace throughout October 2026. Every donation will help fund lifesaving work, and it will also inspire me to keep going, one strength exercise at a time.

I am hoping to raise £500, and I would be so grateful for your support. Please consider donating if you can, and help me turn this challenge into something positive, meaningful and full of hope for other families facing heart disease.

Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. Your support truly means a great deal and will help me keep Gerry’s memory close while helping save lives.
