I wanted to do something positive in memory of my Mum. She was a fun loving rebel without a cause,  incredibly kind hearted and generous. She often donated her clothing to the homeless and would always stop if she saw a person living rough on the street to have a chat, give money or a coffee. At her funeral I discovered (or was reminded, I’m not sure) she once gave £20 to a homeless person in the middle of winter, months later they told her that without her kindness they would probably have frozen to death on the street that night. Instead they were able to enter McDonald’s, buy themselves something warm to eat and stay out of the cold. I could go on with these stories but, we’d be here all day.

When this event popped up in my feed I knew I had to do it! It’s the perfect motivation to get me moving and raise some money for a good cause. I’m grateful for any donations you can make, every penny counts, and I hope you will follow me on my journey.
