Story
The heart of the Santa Maria Foundation is so big. A beautiful cause; providing a unique education and home for orphaned and other vulnerable young girls in Colombia.
After returning from volunteering in Colombia, I took my mum out to lunch. Peter and Lady, were sitting next to us, and we overheard a snippet of their conversation about Santa Maria Foundation, of which they are Founders…. Next thing we know, we are joining our tables together and having a fascinating conversation! I was so excited by the charity..... That was 2011 and from then I continued to help the Fundraiser events and recently in 2014, I joined the committee.
As a professional Makeup Artist, and Personal Trainer, I am hugely passionate about what I do. I was asked to coach a client along the Tough Mudder course, without hesitation I agreed, as it would be hugely rewarding for us both. I am really proud of her fitness journey - and Tough Mudder will be a great challenge for me too. It is completely out of my comfort zone, and I really hope to raise awareness for Santa Maria Foundation while I am crawling through mud and barbed wire!
I am so blessed to have a family who have faith in me and support my dreams. I am really honoured to be involved with a charity that provides the same support and love to girls who would otherwise be excluded from society and without a promising future.
I hope that you will all support me in my Tough Mudder journey and in my efforts to support the young girls at Santa Maria!
Wish me luck in all that mud....
Thank you
