Story
FOR MY LATE MUM...
On the 14th October 2011 I organised a Zumbathon to raise money for Breast Cancer Research in remembrance of my late mum Vivienne... 3 hours of ZUMBA fun later and thanks to fabulous ZUMBA Jammer LYNA M, dance teacher & ZIN NIGEL MAY as well as LOTS of our own amazing local Merseyside ZINs (too many to mention xxx) and a HUGE number smiling Zumba participants all of whom gave very generously...
*Also a big thank you to Sefton Park Palm House
Together we raised £920.00 profit >>> WOW
Since then I have been involved in several charity events with the aim of raising money for various charities...
1. Women V Cancer Event - 12th July in Holywell 2013

This money will be donated for my late mums 65th birthday on 2nd April 2014 together with other collected/saved money bring me closer to my target. Thanky ou to everyone for their donations and support xxx
All donations are welcome and appreciated :))) xxx
BACKGROUND
My late mum Vivienne was an amazing lady, a true survivor... she found a lump in her breast and was given six months to live. Through sheer grit and determination she fought for a further 4 and a half years surviving a mastectomy, radiotherapy and finally chemotherapy... until her death in August 1991
My mum died aged only 42 years - Now that I am a mother myself and older than she was when she died, I realise how important mums are... losing my mum so young has been hard and I hope the money raised will help other familes and other women coping with this terrible illness...
Thank you to all for reading my story and I truly appreciate any donations made xxx
