Hello my kind and generous friends!! 

As my garden half marathon at the weekend drew so much attention on my live feed and in my comments section, I have been thinking and plotting my next challenge. It is obvious people like to see me suffer (I kind of enjoy it too!) so the next challenge I have set myself is a walk in my garden for a period of 24 hours. Any one that knows me , will know the struggles I will face with blisters!! (Pictures will be shared post walk!) Obviously the current climate has highlighted what an asset we have in the NHS, regardless of the current COVID19 situation I was going to aim to support these wonderful people this year, as on numerous occasions over the past couple of years I have needed their assistance with my ongoing (now cured!!) heart condition! So all proceeds of this will be going to this great cause. I understand some of you may be facing Furlough or may have even been released from your current work positions, this I understand fully and your words of encouragement pre and during the walk will be enough to give. Those of you lucky to be still working or in a more favourable position then I know you are not out drinking so I'm expecting to see the cost of a pint / gin or large glass of wine donated at least!!  

Before I sign off I wanted to share something I heard when I was in hospital in August last year when admitted to Countess of Chester for one of many attacks I was occurring. I recall laying in my bed and over hearing a conversation between two young staff nurses, they were literally discussing the fact that neither of them could afford next weeks dinners and were discussing the fact that they literally had tins of beans left in the cupboards, I kid you not this was a real conversation!! 

Lets dig deep and raise monies to help these great people, I'm prepared to blister and write off the Monday and Tuesday following the event (that's how long it will take for me to walk again!
