Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After losing my lovely brother to a sudden heart attack in 2007, my mother asked me to promise her that I would never take up running🏃‍♂️. I obliged.

After losing my gorgeous husband to a sudden heart attack in 2016, I promised my Mommy that I wouldn't take up competitive cycling either🚴‍♂️.

So I have used these excuses since then to love my sofa🛋 and look after my Mommy😇.

Now Mum is no longer with us🙏, I need to get busy living🎉🎊 or get busy dying⚰.

So I'm going to attempt 5km a day for 6 days a week for July to September.

I say attempt because motivation is limited and it will be a walking start. But yawl can help!

WAY widowed and young, has been a lifeline for me since Tony's death. The possibility of raising awareness for this awesome charity might get mi arse off the couch.

WAY widowed and young, provides support for those who have lost their partner before their 51st birthday.

In lockdown especially, WAY and its members have been there for me 24/7.

If you can share WAYs information to anyone you know that may benefit from them, that would be great.

If you can support me and donate a £ or 2 to WAY, that would be brilliant!

All this asking for donations, 3 deaths and I haven't even mentioned my preexisting Mental health shite 🤔🙄😁

Please help me get off the sofa and get motivated 🛋🙏
