Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.

As most of you know we lost our amazing and brave Mum in September 2022 and that Mum lived her life with determination and energy right to the end.  What better way to celebrate her memory than to complete a challenge to raise money and awareness for Marie Curie.  Along with an amazing team of district nurses and carers Marie Curie were there for us right to the end and at our greatest time of need.

When Mum passed away she had 71 years of incredible life and energy behind her.  To remember and honour those 71 years Katie and I have set ourselves the challenge of completing 71 burpees a day [that's 5041 in total], a cold water plunge each day and 7.1 miles a day [ a combination of running and walking] for a period of 71 consecutive days with a 71km cycle on the final day.

Any donations would be most appreciated, you are also welcome to join in as and when you can, even if it is just for some burpees or a walk - please share your activity with us at #71formum on Facebook or Instagram.  Many thanks in advance.
