A goal for myself this year is to attempt to beat a Guiness World record for the longest crochet marathon.
The time to beat is just over 36 hours. I'm hoping to do around 40, just to make it even more difficult for anyone who attempts to beat my record.

In the process I would like to fundraise for the Eating disorder charity "Beat".
I struggle with anorexia & there's currently a lack of support for those struggling.
After two admissions to a specialist unit & many general hospital admissions last year I was discharged from services because I had "exhausted their services". I'm now under Palliative care. This is incredibly scary & has massively affected my mental health.
I started crafting to learn new hobbies to help keep me busy & distracted when I'm struggling. My aim was to learn as many new hobbies possible, not allowing myself to start a new project unless I had completed one from current hobby. This was to prevent myself from giving up, and lacking confidence in the things I make. Crochet was and still is one of those hobbies.
I set up my own shop last year creating colourful & unique creations. Crafting has definitely saved my life many times, and will probably continue to do so.
It's times now for me to give something back for all the help I feel I've received through creating.
Along with fundraising before the attempt, during the marathon I'm aiming to make as many things with a cute face that I can then donate to eating disorder units in the hope they make someone else smile.
Any support to achieve this goal of mine would be appreciated so much.
Whether it's to help fundraise, donate yarn or even just a positive comment to give me a kick up the butt to motivate me.
It all helps!
I love a challenge, I'm also very stubborn so determination to beat the record is very high!
Thank you
