Thank you to those of you who have already sponsored me. If anyone else is able to it is very much appreciated.

For those of you who knew Mary Magro, you would know what a wonderful woman she was. Always putting others first, willing to help everyone, donating to charity, making sure her family were well looked after. She would be found going to Church every day and even when not at church, always saying her prayers.

Unfortunately after years of not feeling well yet still battling on, Nanna was diagnosed with cancer. She was in lots of pain but still insisted on being independent. In the end she had no choice but to have some help. Sadly, 8 months later, Nanna lost her battle to cancer. But even though she may not be with us in person she still remains with us all in spirit. Not a day goes by without me thinking of her.

She was my rock, my inspiration, the person who I turned to in times of need. Her proverbs always helped to keep you going. She is the person I most hope to be like throughout my life.
