Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m an old nurse who worked through Covid trying to support snd help veterans snd old and vulnerable at home. In this time I’ve seen them struggle and stay proud and strong, like my Dad who served in Keyna. They deserve our help and support and I want to help in raising some money in the only way I can

So I’m doing 11 challenges, most are very much a challenge and hoping to raise a minimum of £500 before 11/11, whilst continuing to work clinically and support my mum who was a service bride, having her honeymoon at Colchester Barracks

I’m doing the following:

  1. 11 hours of meditation in 11 days
  2. 11 dances with strangers done (can’t dance)
  3. 11 bike rides in 11 days or total of 11 miles 😱 
  4. 11 jars of mums picked onions sold
  5. 11 veterans full health checks in their own homes in my own time identified by their GP
  6. 11 war cemeteries visited and photo of dad snd army record left
  7. 11 household jobs not done undertaken by eg cleaning oven, sorting shed, clearing loft, cleaning conservatory roof, back curtains
  8. Health checks undertaken in a RBL club in one day
  9. 11 carpoole karaoke songs done (can’t sing)
  10. £110 donations for raffles etc
  11. 11 flowers and poppies given to strangers
