As a Miss Tees Valley finalist, between now and the final (31st August) I will be fundraising for Zoë's Place and the MFC Foundation. Zoë's Place is an independent charity providing palliative, respite and end of life care to babies and infants aged from birth to 5 years suffering from life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, with a hospice in Middlesbrough. The MFC Foundation works to raise aspirations and improve the life chances of young people and adults across Teesside, by harnessing the passion and power of the Football Club brand. They work in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Teesside, engaging with those who are hard to reach through the delivery of inspiring sport, education, health and inclusion projects.

I have many crazy ideas I'm currently planning to fundraise, including a zip wiring off the Transporter Bridge with a fellow finalist, charity rugby matches and bingo/quiz nights. I've set up this just giving page as a central online website for anyone who would like to sponsor me or donate to the charities (especially those who can't make the events, i.e. my family who live abroad!).

Any amount of money myself and the charities will be hugely grateful for.

Also thank you to my women's rugby team at Acklam RUFC for all your support and for sponsoring me.

Thank you!
