Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am setting myself a challenge and raising money for Papyrus. This charity works with schools to raise awareness and help prevent teenage suicide. My daughter Daisy, as many of you are aware, took her own life.  in November 2013, she was 16 years old and had an amazing enthusiastic strong spirit, she was up for anything. She was fearless and would not be discouraged, her free spirit would not be tethered. My challenge is to find that belief, bravery and enthusiasm within myself, I want to challenge myself, to have a goal. I know many people that push themselves and I have never really believed I could actually do something like that. Its time to challenge that belief, its time to challenge my body, Its time to show me and Daisy that her mom can achieve anything she puts her mind to. I have entered the Selby 3 Swans Sportive, I will be cycling 66 miles !
