Story

My whole world fell apart the day my granny passed away with alzheimer's. She was my rock and my best friend. The most amazing and selfless person. And I began to really struggle without her. I hide myself away from the world and got myself into deep depression and the weight piled on. I got to the stage I didn't want to carry on. But I knew I had to do something about it 4 myself and 4 my granny. So I got up and changed my life around. Lost the weight and found a new passion of keeping fit. N then I remembered a few weeks before she passed away I made a promise I'd do something amazing in her memory. N what better way could I do this than do one of the world's toughest treks. I will trek for 14 days in extreme conditions and altitude and temperature reaching as low as -17. But I'm doin this for this absolutely amazing charity to help raise vital funds to help fight dementia. And I'm especially doin this in my memory of my granny. So granny this ones 4 u. Xx
