Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are 7 wonky, cronky, post 40 year old(except Glenys... She isn't 40 yet!) working mums. 1 Teaching assistant, 2 Healthcare Assistants, 3 District Nurses and a Student nurse who between us also run around after 15 children. But this was not enough stress for us all so we have decided to Jet 🛫 up to Scotland, after work on the Friday,  climb up Ben Nevis 🏞️ on Saturday, the Climb The Pap of Glencoe ⛰️ on Sunday before heading back to Glasgow to catch the night flight 🛬home so we can all be back to work Monday morning... Phew... Makes me tired just thinking about it😜 

We thought that this was a pretty impressive feat for 7 non athletic, slightly wobbly round the middle working mums and that we could raise a bit of money for charity along the way. 

Chemo Hero's help to give something positive to North Devon Residents undergoing Chemotherapy treatments. Chemotherapy is a long, arduous and frightening treatment for anyone to go through.  These patients will have already suffered illness, a terrifying diagnosis, possible surgery and may even have the long slog of Radiotherapy ahead of them. So the support and positive input from Chemo Hero team is so important to help patients get through their treatment. 

I've said it before, we don't want you to donate lots of money. If you could spare £1 that would go such a long way towards our target. Just imagine if 1000 of our many many friends could spare £1......

Thank you everyone.... We look forward to sharing our exciting adventure with you and maybe doing a bit of good for charity along the way 😇😇😇
