Story

In 2012 Rachel went into labour and had a blood clot that caused a massive heart attack. They tried to revive her for 20 minutes and she had a hypoxic brain injury. Rachel was put into an induced coma. When she woke up she could no longer sit up, stand or communicate. She gave birth to a beautiful daughter called Freya. Rachel's family and friends have raised money so she could recieve extra physio sessions. She can now stand unaided and walk eith support. This is down to her amazing courage and determination.Rachel has always been full of life and happy and even after all she has been through continues to laugh and smile. She is an inspiration that almost anything is possible. I am not drinking alchohol from 6th August until 5th November in order to raise funds for Rachels physio. Anyone that knoes me will know this is massive as I love my wine. I have done it before and will again. I went through a temporary life changing injury i broke ankle in 3 places. It gave me a tiny insight on how it feels to be ynable to do things you have always taken for granted, simple things like going to toilet , washing and driving. There were times where i just wanted to give up. Rachel had her independence taken away from her but she continues to fight day by day to regain her abilities. Sheer determination and the amzing work she does with physio has got her ro the progress we see today. Please help me raise more money so she can continue to surprise everyone. I am hoping by not drinking alchohol it will help me lose weight and i pledge that i will donate a £1 for every pound i lose. Wish me luck and please support and donate thank you xx
