I’ve been fortunate to have had wonderful support with the events that I’ve taken part in over the years. Thank you so much if you’ve helped me before. In 2021 and 2022,  I’m taking the challenges a step further again and it would be brilliant if you could support me in whichever you prefer - joining one of the events , being part of the support crew or sponsoring me .
