Fundraising for Mummy's Star
Story
We have talked about doing this for the last few years and when a wager was won by Leena we decided to bite the bullet and go for it. Taking place from 20 July - 24 July 2016 it will be an interesting few months ahead!! Those who know us will understand what a huge effort this will be for us both physically and mentally as not only do we have to put our bodies through some extreme challenges we also have to spend the days together without getting competitive or killing each other - no easy feat!
To keep the pressure on we are raising funds for our local charity Mummy's Star which was set up in 2013. It provides fantastic support and information to mums during and after pregnancy who are suffering, surviving and beating cancer. It also provides invaluable support to their families.
Anything that you can donate will be gratefully received. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
