In memory of Emma Bottomley
Story
💗 I’m supporting Target Ovarian Cancer awareness month in March In memory of Emma 🌸
💗 It’s not just how many steps you are able to walk but how physically and mentally challenging it can be to walk even 50.
💗 For months I gave up walking and tracking my steps because I felt so guilty about being able to do it when Emma no longer could.
💗 Walking should be one of the easiest and most natural things to do but sadly this isn’t always the case and something that I will never take for granted again.
💗 In memory of Emma I am going to walk 11,000 steps a day for me and 11,000 steps for Emma (22,000) that’s roughly just over 10 miles a day 🥾🏃🏻♀️ for the whole of March (31 days)
💗 If I can raise any money along the way for much needed research then that will be amazing.💗 Emma was without doubt the most active in our family and would run and go to the gym nearly everyday, she also loved to go on long walks.
💗 Emma bought me a Fitbit for Christmas a few years ago and as a family we would use the app to track our steps. It did get quite competitive at times to see who could be at the top of the leader board each week.
💗 I miss Emma messaging me and asking if I fancied a quick walk after work or an hour or two on a weekend when she had a bit more time to spare.
💗 I know we all like to support our own special charity’s that are close to our hearts but I’m asking you to think about that loose change in the bottom of your pocket and please donate it to Target Ovarian Cancer this month.
💗 Every £1 really will make a difference and be very much appreciated.
💗 I don’t know where Emma found her strength and courage, she showed huge maturity far beyond her 26 years. She was so incredibly brave and we miss her every minute of every day
